Twitter enables internetless posts in Syria

Google and Twitter have reactivated a voice feature for Syrians to send out tweets during internet blackouts.

Friday’s announcement of the reinstating of the voice-tweet programme marks the first use of the technology since authorities in Egypt shut down the internet for several days in 2011. The service allows people with a telephone connection to compose and send a 140-character tweet by speaking on their phones.
