Phweet, a new application that allows Twitter exchanges to escalated to voice, now is in public alpha. One of the more unusual features is the ability to create on-the-fly, unscheduled conference calls. Basically the app works using shortURLs. A signed-in Twitter user can ping other Twitter user and request escalation to voice. The other user receives a shortURL. When clicked, a voice session is created using a simple click-to-talk operation.
