    IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 7 now available

    Playing around with Jott, Custom Link Contacts, and Web Services!

    08/19/2008 03:51:10 PM | Chris Toohey | Bethlehem, PA

    I've been playing around with Jott later - which allows me to dial into a (free to setup and use) account, and either leave myself a simple message or send that message to one of my contacts. The coolest part - it doesn't send an audio clip of my voicemail, but rather transcribes (and pretty damned accurately I might add) your message into text.

    It's pretty slick, and something that I've been using to take mental notes over the past few days.

    Today - while playing around - I saw that you have the ability to basically create a contact in Jott that is basically a conduit to a Web Service! This means, with the addition of a few Domino Design Elements, I could easily create an alternate publishing source for content on this 'blog.

    The Jott Developers Guide gives a pretty simple overview of exactly how this is done, and it looks like it will allow integration with any HTTP POST-enabed solution (and thankfully Domino allows POST!).

    I'll play around with this over the next few days - around some major data architecture tweaks to Match Maker to get it juuuuuuuuuuuuust right - and report back my findings, as well as some code, for those interested.

    Don't forget that you can also Jott to other people and other services. Like Twitter, Zillow and RememberTheMilk for starters. I have been using it for over a year and find myself using it more as I see the value

    I LOVE Jott... especially as I spend so much time in the car and that's when I think of all the reminders. I have it on speed dial, so I hit a button and then I can forget about it.

    The web services with Jott is cool, too. I wrote about Jotting to Amazon on my site, which is awesome as I always want to price check when I'm out doing physical shopping.

    @Jess... I sent jott.com to my wife thinking she would like it; from reading this post. I was there when she read my message, she replied. "I already know about Jott, I read about it at momelettes.com".

    :)

    LOL Yancy!! That is too funny!!! I talk about it all the time because it's so damn useful. I should get commission from them if they actually start charging for the service. ;-)
