Privately held SpinVox, which has developed technology to convert voicemail to text messages or e-mail, on Thursday will announce a new service that allows users of Facebook, Jaiku and Twitter social networks to dictate updates to their profiles by calling a specially assigned number.

This could win "Most Useless Invention of 2007." This reminds me of when Google had voice search in their Google Labs. You would call a 1-800 number, state your query, and then your results would pop up on your screen.

Especially in this day in age of the iPhone and the Blackberry—Unless you're a member of all of the services above, and want to update all your statuses simultaneously, this service doesn't look like a time saver.
