“Cell Phone Karaoke” is fun.

There are a ton of social networking/blogging/status update sites out there these days, and though it’s next to impossible to keep up with them all, I do try to check out as many as I can to take advantage whenever new features are introduced. Utterz has been around for a while, but I only learned about it a couple of months ago. One of the best things about Utterz is it allows you to post online, via text, or even by calling their central number using your cell phone. Doing so allows you to record whatever kind of message you want, which is then immediately posted to Utterz and any other sites you configure, such as your blog.

Only today did I finally grasp the full potential of this particular technology, when I decided it would be a wacky idea to solicit karaoke song requests from my favorite message board, Obner. As long as it was a song I knew, I agreed to Google the lyrics and sing each song into my cell phone for posting at Utterz. I can’t sing worth a damn, so this was definitely not an aesthetically pleasing venture, but it was pretty fun all the same. Here are just a few of the songs I “sang” into my BlackBerry today:

“Sometimes When We Touch”
“Lovin’ You”
“Crimson and Clover”
“Ice Cream Man“
