Great JOTT: Take a Note

You get those brilliant ideas while walking the dog and by the time you get home, poof, the thought's gone. (Okay, maybe not you, but I'm certainly losing gray cells.)

Well, last summer I told you about Jott, a free service that lets you call a toll-free number, dictate a message, and then see it in e-mail, transcribed into text. (See Nifty Web Services to jog your memory.) I use it regularly with my cell phone, but haven't been back to the site in some time. I mean, it's set up, so why bother.

I logged into the Jott site yesterday and was surprised at two things: First, there was a log of all my previous Jotts. Not world-shattering, I suppose, but handy for reviewing what I wanted to remember. The second thing I hadn't paid attention to when I signed up was adding other people to my Jott contact list. I thought how often I had wanted to Jott a quick note to my wife, Judy, but had to send it to myself, and then forward the message.

Try Jott and lemme know what you think.

I've been using it for about a year too, at your suggestion. They just added a boatload of new functions: Jott to your blog, lists, reminders, and so forth. I have the whole family using it. Amazing tool.

I can't believe it's still free!

No jeering pundit am I, rather a pro in the 99.9% arena.

Yes, Jott is great, and I steal not their thunder,
but its limits are clear, no human they plunder
Jott's great for short stuff, like memos, it's cute,.
but prime time (spelled business? You better reboot.

Cheers no jeers, and a snappy pretzel.
