Twitter to be found in new cars?

This is hilarious. It looks like you will be able to re-tweet stuff in your new Ford as they are adding Twitter to their new Sync system. Ok, actually you can't. But you will be able to hear tweets read to you aloud in upcoming Fords, Mercuries and Lincolns.

Sound like fun? It isn't.

This sounds like a lame attempt to sell some cars and we don't see how it can work. You could be listening to Led Zeppelin instead of "Ugh, Monday!," "Took the dog to the vet this morning, not out of the woods yet," and/or "Check out my blog and get a FREE copy of my new book on Twitter tips!"

Have fun with that. I think I'll re-up on my Volkswagen.

WOW! Great find! Loving social media but agree with you--this is taking it too far! As much as I love to "tweet," I would not be able to handle listening to it from my car. Anyway, wasn't it meant to be read and interactive? Social Media will continue to expand in ways we have not yet imagined. Keep up the great posts! I'll be sure to check them out!
