Just testing, this is Jott calling…

Just testing Jott, calling in a blog post, this is very interesting maybe I never have to type again. We will see how accurate this is when I get online after I get home.

**********************************

I called in the above to Jott from my cellphone while driving home. So essentially I called my blog. I also called in a tweet to my twitter page, and an appt. to my google calendar. It all worked flawlessly. I have learned since that you can even Jott entire groups in your contact list. Jott enables us to communicate in a variety of ways without being near a computer.

Too bad I can’t call Jott to clean my house, cook dinner, or walk the dog. Then I could transact my entire life through one 800 number. Still pretty cool though.

Using Jott to keep myself (and others) organized

I just found out about Jott.com. Jott is free service that enables you to call a toll free number and leave messages for yourself (or anyone else on your contact list) – the catch is that you can leave a message and tell it to be delivered on a specific date. It sends emails, text messages and more, all translated from your voicemail. I didn’t think that this would be very useful until I was shopping at Target the other day, and remembered 3 things I needed to do during the week. So I called the number from my cell and left myself a Jott. Totally cool.

I still have to play with this to better understand all of its uses – but I can already see that for someone like me who is both logistically and memory challenged, this will be a lifesaver.
