WordPress Now Lets You Phone in Your Blog Posts




You can already write and publish WordPress blog posts from your iPhoneiPadAndroid, e-mail and desktop, but now you can also post audio via your phone.
Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg announced the new feature for WordPress.com earlier today. It’s rather simple: enable “Post by Voice” in your dashboard and you will receive a phone number and a unique code for posting audio from your phone to your blog. You can post up to one hour of audio at a time.
The new feature is powered by Twilio, a cloud-based platform for building communication and voice applications.
The feature isn’t anything revolutionary — Livejournal has supported similar functionality for years. However, it should make for thousands of interesting, late-night posts in the near future. Currently the feature is only available for WordPress.com blogs, but we’d love to see it implemented in the open-source version of WordPress as well.
