My New Best Friend in Time Management

I know I’m supposed to stick to marketing things, so we’ll say the topic today is word of mouth marketing. Yea. Really I just want to talk about this new service I discovered, thanks to Zane Safrit at Small Business Trends. It’s called Jott. Have you heard of it?? I hadn’t either.

Here’s what it does. If you’re like me, you’ve tried to write an email, text message or note to yourself while driving (and this is why it took me until very recently to buy a SmartPhone. I know it’s dumb yet I still do it.) Jott allows you to call a number and record a note, reminder or message to yourself or someone else. The best part? It’s F-R-E-E.

So I’m driving down the road, thinking about the Marble Slab Creamery my husband and I just bought (no we will NOT be blogging about my eminent weight gain), and I had some questions I wanted to ask the previous owner. Knowing I won’t remember them, I just hit Jott, programmed into my phone and record my questions. It sends them to my email.

I can send my husband text messages to buy bananas by recording my voice.

And I just found out you can record events to link into your Google Calendar. And have searches for items on Amazon sent to your email. HOW COOL IS THIS???

And in the true fashion of Marketing 2.0 (yes, I’m bringing it back to marketing) the site is very interactive. It encourages users to suggest new uses for the service. They’ve been featured in several major publications and blogged about across the board.

Way to go, Jott. I want to be on your team.
