• Similar to TwitterGram
• As we start keeping voicemail around forever are there legal implications?
• If these services start to facilitate recording of conversations what are the legal implications? Maryland and others require consent to record by both parties. If I'm in Maryland and my number is in another state which rule applies?
• slapcast ruby code uses Twitter plugin, parses email for audio and sends to twitter. It converts wav files to mp3.
• Any service that sends voicemail as emails will work with slapcast.
