TechTip for April 11, 2008 - Jott!
It’s April 11, and time again for another Friday Afternoon TechTip! Today’s featured service is Jott, from http://jott.com. It’s a very easy way to put your mobile phone to work, helping you to remember things and stay more organized. Everyone on staff (even Tom!) probably has a cell phone. After creating an account, you can then dial in from your phone to leave yourself reminders, to-do items, and even email others. Jott will take your voice message and transcribe it to text and then send it back to you as an email message. It can also store the audio of your message allowing you to play it back later.
Here’s a quick list of all the things you can do with Jott and simple instructions:

I’ve used Jott to send email, leave myself a reminder, and yes, even post an update to Twitter. Jott integrates with several web services (http://jott.com/jott/how-to-jott.html) which allows you to create an appointment on your Google Calendar, post a blog entry to Blogger, or even get a list of items you’re interested in purchasing from Amazon.
It’s free, so give it a test this weekend!
