Okay, this is either going to be really useful, or one more way of cluttering up my life. Jott<\/a> is an online service that (in its simplest form) lets you call their number, dictate up to a 30 second message, then forward that message (as text) to an e-mail or SMS address. It serves as a cross between scribbling notes on paper and stuffing them in your pocket and carrying around one of those little mini-recorders to dictate notes (and it does the transcription for you).<\/p>\n

You can also set up Jott to send messages to others (Margie: “It had better not be ‘be sure and pick up the milk’ kind of messages”) or even to various services — there are options to Jott messages to Google Calendar, Blogger, and a host of other sites and services.<\/p>\n

For my purposes, this lets me use Gmail as a To Do list. I can send Jotts to it (via a speed dial on my cell phone), create a filter\/label so that they all bundle together, etc. I’m playing with it right now, but even as a remote note taking tool, I can see the value.<\/p>\n

At the moment, it is free (in beta).<\/p>\n
