Listen to Twitter Tweets While Surfing the Web
Posted on August 25, 2010 at 5:07 am
As Twitter gains popularity, the amount of feeds we read everyday grows, increasing our time spent twittering from a few minutes to potentially hours. Since we are unlikely to give up Twitter any time soon, one way to at least multi-task while twittering is to have our favorite feeds read to us while we work, shop or play games on the Web.
To listen to tweets, navigate to TweJay.com.
Click the Sign in to Twitter button and provide your login information.
Click Allow on the An application would like to connect to your account message.
You are then redirected back to TweJay, where messages from your subscribed feeds begin playing. Click any of the messages to skip ahead.
To see the entire playlist, click playlist on the audio player at the bottom of the screen. You can also click the right or left arrows to move navigate to the previous or next tweet.
For those who do not subscribe to Twitter but still want to listen, at TweJay.com, enter a search term in the textbox.
A list of recent tweets with the keyword appears and begins playing in the audio player.
For listening to your favorite Tweets, the service works well. Searching proved treacherous, as besides the normal Britney Spears gossip we expected for the search term Britney, we also received personal tweets from every random Britney on Twitter—of course, this is our fault for using such a broad keyword.
With more specific keywords, like Whole Foods or Zappos, we found the exact kind of information we expected.
