Utterz is a new mobile blogging community launched by RPM Communications, the same company that brought you Foonz. In conjunction with the launching of Utterz, RPM Communications is also announcing its Series A round of funding for $4 million, led by Morgenthaler Ventures.

With utterz, you can blog with your cell phone while you’re away from a computer. Within the Utterz network, your profile resembles a Twitter micro-blogging stream and shows all of your entries. These can be sorted by date, rating, and popularity. An utter blog entry can include audio, video, images and text. These can be created online or with your mobile phone. Utterz provides a phone number for you to call in and “speak” your blog entry, which appears as an audio file on your Utterz stream. This number can also be used for listening to Utterz, and responding to another user’s Utterz can be done via mobile phone as well. The Utterz community also has channels where you can participate with other users on a given topic.

There are also a handful of widget options for you to plug-in your Utterz updates into existing networks, including TypePad, Blogger, Xanga, MySpace, LiveJournal and Facebook. You can also grab the code for a widget to be placed on your personal website. There are three different widget options that vary in size. The most convenient aspects of Utterz is the number that can be dialed in order to leave a voice blogging entry, expanding the use of its service to those that may not have recording features on their cell phone, and removing other size limitations a mobile user may have for recording and sending an audio file from the hand set. The widgets also offer a good format for distributing Utterz on a cross-platform level.

I just joined.

Since I’m using the iPhone most the time, no video utterz for me..  I’m left with text, images, and audio.

Seems like a mashup of all the other twitter clones except this supports all media and comments.  It’s without file transfers like Pownce.  Too bad it doesn’t do voice to text translation like Jott.com but I’m sure Jott will support it eventually.  It’s pretty cool you can reply to utterz all from you phone.

I’ll most likely stick with twitter since I like its simplicity and already have ‘friends’ on there.

I’ll try it out though.  I added a Utterz contact to my iPhone and put it on my Favorites list.  Add me if you want.  I’ll be lurking the utterz in case something interesting happens.  Or maybe send a voice message while I’m drunk on stage singing  ‘Purple Rain’ on karaoke night.
