After a few late nights we're now ready to let you send reviews from Twitter to LouderVoice. We're calling them LouderTweets and they are 140 character mini-reviews you can send using Web, SMS or IM via Twitter to LouderVoice.
An important point is that you don't have to be a LouderVoice member to send LouderTweets but you should join if you want to rate, bookmark or build/share useful collections of reviews.
And how do you send LouderTweets as a Twitter user? It's very simple:
- Add the Twitter "review" user as a friend here
- Wait until you get a confirmation that you have been added back as a friend
- Post reviews using this format on Twitter: @review RATING ITEM: REVIEW
- Example: @review 4 The Apprentice UK: A stonkingly good series that has thrown up plenty of surprises
- That format is very specific otherwise we won't pick up the review. The Rating is in the range 1-5 and make sure you follow the ITEM with a Colon and a space
- Shortly afterwards that review can be found by searching on www.loudervoice.com (in an open community microformat called hreview)
You can see examples here:

As with all tweets, you can send your review tweet using whatever tool you like: web-page, Google GTalk, SMS, Tweetr etc
This is the first step in supporting LouderTweets and it is highly experimental. We'd love to hear you feedback on what you think.

Great feature conor, really impressive.

great way to lower the barrier to people writing reviews - just send a quick text from the bus home. not sure if people will always remember the precise format though...
I take your point about the format but it does become second nature after a while.
We'll add a simple help feature shortly where you can txt "@review help" and it'll send you instructions back
[...] We thought we’d have some fun with Dave Winer’s TwitterGram idea. You can upload MP3’s to TwitterGram and the service will send a Tweet on Twitter with a link to it so that people can listen to it. Robert Scoble did some reviews using it and we realised that it can work perfectly with LouderVoice via LouderTweets/LouderMinis. [...]
