Sometimes, words are not enough to express what you want to say, and specially so, when there is a 140 characters limitation. In the case of Twitter, a web service that would let you Tweet audio was long overdue. It has finally arrived with the name Chir.ps.

Chir.ps ^[1] lets you tweet audio files easily. You can record the audio on Chir.ps website, or simply upload an audio file and tweet that. A simple 3 button recorder on Chir.ps lets you record, stop and play the audio before you add a message and tweet it. You can upload audio files to Chir.ps from your local drive or a remote URL. Supported formats include mp3, wav, wma, acc, ogg.

When you tweet with Chir.ps, your audio is attached as a shortened link, clicking on which takes user to the recording. If you are always on-the-go, you can also use the iPhone application ^[2] to tweet your voice. You can also go to Chir.ps and listen to some of the recent audio tweets by people.
