Don’t Forget It – Jott It!
October 18, 2007 – 6:18 am
I was going to write a short note to tell you about a new feature from the folks at Jott.com when I realized I had never written the original article about the service that I intended to write. Well like they say, “better late than never.”
A few months ago, I started using a great new service call Jott. In a nutshell, it allows you to call the Jott number from any telephone and send an email to anyone, including yourself. I don’t know about you but I often get some really good ideas while I’m driving on a long trip. Unfortunately, trying to write down the thought that will save mankind from unspeakable harm is a pain. Now that I have my Jott account, I just speed dial the Jott number, say my message and the nice folk at Jott not only record my thoughts, they transcribe my voice message and send it to me in an e-mail. Isn’t this a great country?? The only problem I have have with Jott is remembering to use it.
Once you sign up for your free account and register your telephone, you can start using all of the just services like the new “Jott the Vote”, a free and politically nonpartisan service that allows you to send a Jott email message directly to a presidential campaign. Just call the regular Jott number and when you are asked, “Who do you want to Jott?” say a candidate’s name and leave a message that will be emailed to their campaign. Unlike your normal jotts, these messages will also be made part of a public conversation on www.jottthevote.com. You can even keep track of your favorite candidate’s jotts with a Jott the Vote widget!
After you visit Jott.com to sign up for your account, surf on over to www.jottthevote.com to let your voice be seen and heard.
