Twitter users can now VoIP directly to their contacts via broadband using a new service called Phweet. Chronic bloggers Andy Abramson and Jeff Pulver tossed up posts for the new service within 24 hours.
Pulver, a big lover of social media these days, embraces Phweet as a natural extension of Twitter.
Abramson pulled a bigger rabbit out of his hat, setting up an in-flight call with a journalist onboard an American Airlines Aircell demo flight. Andy says Phweet is written in Adobe Flash, so unless Aircell wants to filter all Flash traffic - a very ugly prospect given how embedded the software is around the web - Phweet and other Flash voice services will be an open hole to conduct in-flight voice calls.
