Stuart Henshall’s Communications-Via-Twitter Breakthrough
by Jon Husband
I’m glad to be able to count Stuart Henshall as a friend. A very smart, creative and practical friend.
Stuart launched the alpha of Phweet last year.
Phweet is a very interesting service on two (or maybe three) levels.
First, if you are a heavy Twitter user, with a little bit of practice you can work it into your Twitter workflow, thereby offering you and followers a means to "escalate" from connecting via a tweet to a more intimate voice conversation.
Second, the same basic technology can be enabled anywhere … for example, on Craigslist or eBay or other community driven sites. In effect, the Phweet capabilities can become part of the Web’s voice communications infrastructure.
And third, although I do not understand well the technical aspects, I think Phweet can become a central part of telephony on the web, doing away with the big telcos stranglehold on the dial tone.
Stuart can tell you all about that.
The Phweet blog is here.
Here’s Stuart’s presentation at the eComm conference that’s underway today through Thursday.
