Did you ever have a great idea or need a reminder while you are away from your computer? No problem. Pick up any phone and Jott yourself an e-mail. This company, started by two former Microsoft employees, allows the end user to take advantage of his or her phones by tying it into other communication tools they commonly use.
You can "jott" by calling Jott's toll-free number from your cell phone or land line, specifying who should receive your message (for example, yourself or a group), and dictating for up to 30 seconds. Within minutes, your message or reminder is transcribed and e-mailed or text-messaged to the appropriate parties. As of right now (since December 2006), this service is free for all subscribers. You can sign up for the service at the following website, http://jott.com.
