Will Twitter be your new answering service?

Brazilian Twitter users are testing out direct voice messages. — AFP Relaxnews

A few weeks after rolling out the possibility to exchange voice messages (with a maximum time of 140 seconds) on its platform, Twitter is testing out private audio messages. This trial is currently exclusive to residents of Brazil but should eventually allow users to send vocal messages via DM (direct messages) worldwide.

Twitter is taking over good old voice mail, allowing private contacts or public ones (depending on your settings) to send and receive short audio files.
