Send Private Voice Messages Via Twitter With Pockets

I came across a cool Twitter web app recently and would like to share it with everyone. The app is called Pockets and it's basically visual voicemail for Twitter. The app allows you to record and send private voice messages to anyone on Twitter via an @reply. Below is a screen capture of the main page interface. There's also a video tutorial you can view as well.

So how does Pockets work? When you go the to main page at http://pocketsapp.com, you'll need to sign in via Twitter to get started. Pockets uses OAuth secure sign-in. Once signed in, all you do is simply enter the Twitter ID of the person you want to send your voice message to and click "send voicemail." Pockets will then ask you for your phone number and will call you so you can record your message. That's it. Your message is then delivered via @reply to your recipient with a link to your message. Your recipient can then listen to your message and reply back. Since the messages are associated with your individual Twitter account, your messages remain private. I've tested this app recently and it appears to do what it promises. I invite your comments and feedback regarding your experiences with Pockets.
