SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quicktate (http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fquicktate.com&esheet=5933556&lan=en_US&anchor=http%3A%2F%2Fquicktate.com&index=1) announced the launch of TweetCall (http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftweetcall.com&esheet=5933556&lan=en_US&anchor=http%3A%2F%2Ftweetcall.com&index=2), a new service that allows users to dial an easy-to-remember toll-free number, (877) Tweet-Call, to "speak their tweets," which are then transcribed and uploaded to Twitter.

TweetCall is the perfect solution for those lacking the skill, patience or time to send SMS messages conventionally, or those wishing to post tweets while driving. In fact, TweetCalling is faster and easier than texting.

Prospective users may visit the TweetCall website to get started. At the present time, there is no cost for TweetCalling.

Much has been written in the New York Times recently about the use of ghostwriters to post tweets at the expense of preserving a "real-time stream of genuine thoughts and actions by celebrities." Blogger and Twitter expert Cathy Perkins believes that the speed and simplicity of dialing (877) Tweet-Call will result in an increase in the overall number of tweets that ultimately get posted while at the same time reduce the need for ghostwriters. "How hard can it be to speed-dial TweetCall, speak your tweet and then hang up? It's a no-brainer," quips Perkins.

Within hours of its release, TweetCall had already gained the attention of notable Twitter users, including Dr. Drew. He Tweeted to his 293,000 followers, "This looks really neat, Tweet by voice."
