Google has launched a special service to allow people in Egypt to send Twitter messages by dialling a phone number and leaving a voicemail, as internet access is cut off in the country amid anti-government protests.
"Like many people we've been glued to the news unfolding in Egypt and thinking of what we could do to help people on the ground," read a post on the search giant's official corporate blog.
The "speak to tweet" service, which Google said was developed with engineers from Twitter, allows people to dial a telephone number and leave a voicemail. The voicemail is automatically translated into a message that is sent on Twitter using the identifying tag #egypt.. Google said.
