This morning I got my mytreo.net Newsletter and despite the fact that the page anchors don’t work in Gmail, I read (skimmed) the first paragraph and decided to try the service they were promoting, Jott.

The link in the email took me to a Palm page with a longer article that I didn’t actually read and no quick and easy way to get to what ever Jott was going to make me do to use it (sign up or download whatever).

A quick Google search and I was on Jott’s website, cleverly called jott.com
Set up was easy, nothing to download. First and last name, email, password, and telephone number. Then a confirmation email, then you are asked to place a call to a 866 number to set up your phone.

With the email and phone confirmed, an automated lady voice at the other end of the phone asks you to make your first Jott, which unless you have already added contact thru the web interface is to yourself. In true geek fashion, she recommends sending yourself “Hello world”. Original. I spoke into my phone, sent my self a message, easily set up a reminder (which texted and emailed me at a set time). So far so good. This could actually be useful.

  • Lifehacker has a pretty good article on getting things done with Jott:

  • I’ve had a lot of problems with Jott’s functionality and I took the time to write their ‘contact us” email with my problems. That was 2 or 3 months ago. Still waiting to hear back…Maybe they have adopted the Target “blogger” policy.

  • @Annie- sorry to hear that,we always try to get back to everyone within 24 hours. If you send another email at to feedback (at) jott.com I’d be happy to help!

  • Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn?t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.
