Jott This Down

Have you ever called voicemail and left yourself a message? 

I have. I do it all the time.

It seems as though important things I need to do, or interesting thoughts, often occur to me when I can’t write them down. 

I used to listen to those messages and then have to transcribe the important parts.

Not anymore! 

Thanks to Drew McLellan, I’ve been using Jott.com for a few days now. 

I’m completely hooked (and so far I’ve only “jotted” myself!). 

Instead of calling my voicemail, I call Jott’s toll free number, say who I want to Jott, and start talking!

Within minutes, the fully transcribed message is emailed to me.  

I’ve already started several blog posts this way (what a time saver!).

Go check it out and I’ll bet you quickly find a use for it too!

Hi Josh!

I'm with you on the ad supported option! I love it but I'm not sure I'd pay for it either!

(I used it four times tonight on my drive home from DC!!!).

I found out the answer to my question as far as Jott's future revenue stream. It will either become a subscription service (or some pay model) or ad-supported. I vote for ad-supported - as much as I've instantly fallen in love with it, I still don't think I'd pay for the service.

Wow. This is like Tivo or an iPod - it really changes things for you in a dramatic, never-look-back kind of way.

Thanks for letting us know about this. Do you know how they plan to make money off of this (I could see targeted ads like those in Google Mail)? Just curious.
