Jott, ChaCha and Phone Your Phone

Posted on Jun 12, 2008 - 8:42am by Wayne in Cell Phones

Who comes up with these names? Found some really cool services for your cellphone.

Jott

Jott is great for making notes and reminders to yourself and even notes to your friends and family. Go to Jott.com, register yourself and your cell phone. When you have that brilliant idea, you call Jott’s toll free number (866) JOTT-123 / (866) 568-8123, tell Jott who the note is for, then speak clearly. You have to speak clearly because a few minutes later, your note will be transcribed and will be listed in your Jott inbox. You can set reminders on your while your leaving your note or afterwards from your Jott inbox. Your Jott is also sent to your regular email inbox or if you friend or family’s email.

You can download a crackberry app that integrates with Jott and there are other services to add feeds for news and blogs you can listen to. I’m still playing around with it, seems really cool, especially when I’m driving and I have a great idea or remember to do something I forgot that I need to do when I stop driving or when I get home.

CHACHA

Ever have a question you want to Google while you’re away from your computer? Now you can call your own personal Googling assistant. Call (800-2CHACHA), ask your question, hang up. A few minutes later your the answer to your question is sent as a text message to your phone. Ask anything at all, speak clearly, because a real person is listening and looking up the answer to your question.

Phone Your Phone

Ever lose your cellphone in your home or office and can’t find someone to call it for your? Go to Phone My Phone input your number and their system will call your phone so you can find it.

Jott is Cool!

I've been using Jott.com for over a week and it is SO COOL! If I'm listening to something on the radio while I'm driving, I speed dial Jott and jott "self" and speak whatever I want to remember for later, even set a reminder. I've got my Jott setup with

Almost Back on the Road

I mentioned before I was expermenting with flickr.com. If you notice on the right hand side there are a couple of flickr "badges". Same pictures, maybe a few extra than the ones already loaded on Typepad. Not sure if I'm going to stick with flickr or not, but it seems

ReQall

Pronounced Recall. Remember Jott? I wrote about it awhile back and I've been using it to send myself reminders, especially when I'm driving. I use my recorder more, but it doesn't have a reminder function. Jott is changing to a paid service, but they're leaving a few basic options free

CES

The CES Trade show. This is usually how I see tradeshows. This came from my phone, it's a little bigger than I usually post. But I'm still experimenting.

Happy Thanksgiving to all fellow Americans

I have many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving but what tops my list is my country. Wayne and I are both proud to be Americans and serve America's economy through our work. We recently had a bad experience with Canada customs which I have heard several people

Waiting in Seattle

We delivered in British Columbia, Canada on Tuesday morning. There was suppose to be a crew but the installer didn't know we were coming and we had the wrong phone number for him. So the installer called the electrician and together with Wayne they unloaded the truck.

Cindy at home

Well, I am writing this post from our home in Las Vegas. My school starts tomorrow and lasts for 2 years. They were able to apply my college classes I took years ago in Minnesota. So I start here as a junior. My degree will be

Waiting Again

At least I'm home. I've turned down a couple of loads, mainly because for one thing, I want to stay home over the weekend. Another, they weren't paying very much. My dispatcher said they were getting tons of calls for trucks in Vegas, because for some reason there aren't any

Did you know you can be paid money to answer questions for cha-cha? Maybe that is something you could do at the truck stops while you wait for the next job to materialize.

Yeah, I saw that. That might be kind of neat. I’ve been playing more with Jott, it really is too cool. I’ve got mine set up so I can send updates to twitter and my google calender from my cell. I hate texting, so just calling and leaving a message to myself, twitter or my calender (and a host of other things), I can leave updates just like a voice mail.

I had a question about how far two cities were while I was away from my computer and cha-char worked great. I couldn’t see the exact routing, but the number was close enough for what I needed at the time.
