Jott
I recently discovered jott.com and so far, I’m finding it to be a very useful service.
If you are not familiar with Jott, it’s a voice based note-taking, communication and reminder service. Once signed up, you call a phone number and use your voice to send email or sms messages, leave yourself reminders, create calendar appointments or even post to a blog or twitter account. Jott allows you to call in and have news feeds read back to you. You can even perform product searches on Amazon by telling Jott what you are looking for. The Amazon results are then emailed to you so you can review them later.
There are hooks in place for other services to integrate Jott and there are quite a few apps (such as wordpress, google calendar and twitter) that are already setup tp work with Jott.
There is also a free iPhone application that works with your Jott account.
At the moment, Jott is free. The business model behind it is unclear, but I’m sure there will eventually be some sort of tiered subscription model or audio ads during phone calls into the service (I could also be completely wrong).
It’s definitely worth checking out.

That’s so weird, I signed up for Jott last week. Did you see that you can integrate it with your own app? On this page (http://jott.com/jott/developers.html) they tell you how to make a web service that Jott can call and even have sample C# code. It appears that Jott itself is a .Net app too.
Yeah, I noticed the aspx pages… it’s nice to see cool “web 2.0″ stuff done with .NET rather than Ruby on Rails for a change (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Hopefully I will have a chance to work Jott integration into something and then write about that.
