Twitter may be an effective communication tool for messages that are short and don’t require a lot of back and forth exchanges, but if your message is lengthy and requires more than just a sentence or two, you might want to look at other options. Sometimes a simple phone call can eliminate a number of tweets, e-mail and text messages, and so on. If a phone call feels too old-fashioned for you, there’s no need to worry because you can talk using your phone and still get your social networking fix. Twalkin offers conference calling with a Twitter spin.

This service offered through their Web site and iPhone app helps to make conference calls a little more public. Participants can be invited through Twitter, and while you can have large calls with a number of different speakers and listeners, you can also opt to be the only one who talks or have a private call. Instead of just happening immediately, these calls can also be scheduled in advance to ensure that as many people as possible can participate to whatever extent you choose. Isn’t it freeing to not have a limit on how much you can say?
