LiveShouts.com - Keep in Touch

Keeping in touch has never been easier. What with blogs, email, sms, VOIP, etc, etc. Technology allows for limitless communication. LiveShouts follows in this vein. It’s a new website designed to keep you in touch with friends, family, co-workers, or even your roommate. LiveShouts is brought to you by the people behind ElggVoices. It’s a platform built around simple communication with elements of Facebook, Flickr and Twittr. Like Twittr, LiveShouts users register and then post snippets of thoughts, conversations, pictures, or images and share them. These short messages are called shouts and are restricted to 140 characters. This allows LiveShouts to be used via text messaging, email, or desktop client. You can keep track of shout topics that are of interest to you and get the information right away via SMS, email or RSS. There’s absolutely no cost. Simply register to get started.

“Shouts are short messages. These can be status updates, notifications about a new photo uploaded or words of wisdom. They are restricted to 140 characters so that users can make use of the ElggVoices SMS capabilities.”

LiveShouts provides a simple and quick way to stay in touch with family and friends. You can add pictures and images too, which makes it a step above Twittr.

Do we need another Twittr-like application? Can it gain popularity? Will users like this better than the competition?
