I recently found myself wanting to tweet a message with audio I captured from my iPhone voice memo app but discovered there isn’t an app that does that (yet). There are a couple of apps out there like TweetMic that you can use to capture audio and tweet, but I really like the ease of Voice Memo’s editing feature. And, in general, I like using native applications whenever possible, so I stumbled around for a bit and set up a flow that works great for me and is super easy to do after a simple initial setup.

Posting iPhone voice memos to Twitter

1) Set up an account at Posterous.com. To do this, simply email anything to post@posterous.com and your account will be set up for you.

2) Once you’ve logged into Posterous.com, go to Manage > Auto-post > Add a service and authorize Posterous to post to Twitter.

3) From here on, whenever you have a voice memo you want to share, email it to post@posterous.com or twitter@posterous.com and voila!

The subject line of your email will be your tweet and the headline of your Posterous post. You can add more text to the body of the email that will show up in the body of your Posterous post, but not the tweet.
