Web 2.0

I discovered Jott. It's essentially a 1-800 number to an automated transcription service that sends the text back to your phone. Good for little reminders, but is that it? Aahh, that's where it gets interesting and Web 2.0 begins to shine. Jott connects to all sorts of other services, so instead of a text message to your phone, Jott can pass your transcribed message on to for instance your calendar (what you're not using gcal? And your planet's name is...?), our a to-do list. For that, I discovered Toodledo, about which I will write in a forthcoming blog. You can also jott to Twitter to keep everybody who needs or wants to know about the minutiae of your life up to date even while you're mobile.

What this blog will be about

OK I admit it - I am an early adopter, an electronics and gadgets buff. This will be my place to rave and vent about my attempts to be connected with myself - I guess. Ultimately, the things have to have high entertainment value. Why don't I buy Apple products you ask? I don't know I answer.
