I’ve used Jott for a few weeks now and wanted to give a quick update of what I’ve found to be useful about it.

Jott is a to-do list with some sweet features - you can call it from your phone and leave yourself a to-do.  Or your can call Jott and send a friend a to-do or reminder.  You can organize your Jotts into lists and keep track of them easily using their web-based tool, as well.

You can also call up Jott and have it read you RSS feeds (never used it).  Or use Jott to write to WordPress or Twitter (I use those some).  But I think that the simplicity of Jott and the accessibility of it from a cell phone makes it a great to-do list.  I am using it to remind me of stuff I need to do (via text or email), as well as just keep track of the stuff I normally would forget about.  Great stuff.

I hear it has an iPhone app, but I wouldn’t know about that now, would I? *pouts*  Someone like Nathan Fowler would have to chime in to tell me how awesome he is for having an iPhone and tell us how awesome Jott is on the iPhone.

If you’re looking for a way to organize your to-dos, Jott may be your answer.  Check it out and see if it helps.

Take care everyone!

If you’re into the exploration that’s going on over on the red planet (Mars), you may want to be in the loop.  If you register a Twitter account, check out @MarsPhoenix - or http://twitter.com/marsphoenix - for updates on the Mars Phoenix mission.  They found ice water and announced it - on Twitter - a few days ago, and now they’ve run some soil tests and are expected to release the results of those today.  You may see those first on @NASAFolkLife - or www.twitter.com/nasafolklife - since that’s the festival in DC that they’re announcing results from.  Somewhere around 2:15 PM EST.

This is cool stuff. Could prove very useful in the future to people who want to visit Mars.  Although I’d imagine that’s a lonely trip, being millions of miles away from other people.

Anyways, check out @MarsPhoenix, or http://twitter.com/marsphoenix - it’s sweet to be attached to the mission like this in real time.

Speaking of this mission, there’s a new connection between Georgia Tech and this mission - but I’ll blog about that soon.

Keep rockin’ - oh, and comment.  And how bout them dawgs? :)

I am testing out a new service called Jott. I call a toll free number. I dictate what I want to say. Someone transcribes it or something transcribes it and then it’s in either post to Jott.com or you can post to WordPress or Twitter. listen
