Features Include Text Tagging, Search Options and Facebook Sharing
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Aug 29, 2012) - Blurt, the app that lets you record and share 10-second audio updates with the world, launched today in beta on iOS and Android mobile devices. With the touch of a button, users can now record, review and share voice messages called "Blurts" privately with friends and family, or publicly with the entire Blurt community.
Unlike text updates on other social networks, Blurts allow users to express themselves with the authenticity and emotional richness of their own voice. They can quickly and easily bring experiences, such as vacations, birthday celebrations and holidays -- or just everyday happenings -- to life for followers near and far.
"The appeal of Blurt lies in its simplicity and utility," said Blurt co-founder Bob Bayne. "We've purposely limited blurts to 10 seconds in order to keep them clear and concise. Blurt users may choose to tell a funny one-liner, invite friends to a great party, spread news efficiently to a group of people or simply voice their opinions. We're looking forward to hearing all the ways our users share and communicate with each other."
"Blurt is about giving social media users the power of voice and allowing it to enhance their social networking experience," added Blurt co-founder Clark Burgard.
Blurt's features include:
Blurt also provides a platform to help build and promote both commercial and personal brands. For instance, public figures can engage with their fans, and fans know that Blurts are coming straight from the mouths of their favorite personalities, not their social media assistants.
Blurt is now available to iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Android users, free of cost, in the Apple App Store or in Google Play. For more information about Blurt, please visit www.BLURTcast.com.
