Millions of teens send voicemail to stars

-

SayNow, a start-up in Silicon Valley, is offering a service that provides teens (and adults, I suppose) with voicemail they can send to their favorite stars, like Miley Cyrus and others, the New York Times reports.

The free service says it averages 10 million fan calls a month, or about one million voice minutes each day. Use has doubled over the last year, according to Nikhyl Singhal, a company founder.

About 65 percent of callers are teenage girls. It works by stars who post a toll-free number on their Web site, Facebook, Twitter, or MySpace page (or wherever stars communicate with their fans), that people can call and leave a voicemail message for the stars.
