Truemors: mixing up digg, twitter

Posted on | May 9, 2007 |

TechCrunch has an interesting scoop on Guy Kawasaki’s upcoming rumor-voting service Truemors (currently password-protected, check the screenshot for more details). seems to be a digg-like system based on a Wordpress-fundament with a strong mobile component: rumors can be submitted on-the-go by voice-call (voice-2-text translation provided by spinvox) or utilizing camera-phones (supposedly powered by Shozu, everyone’s favorite mobile photo-/video-uploader). another partnership involves GoLive! Mobile, which suggests some Twitter-esque SMS-feature is going to be implemented. screams “citizen-paparazzi” all over if you ask me…maybe Kawasaki should team up with Perez Hilton…

update: Dave Winer seems to like it too. buzzing…
