Why were YOU chosen by TIME?
… because 2006 was a “story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.”

Jott
Consider this to be Voice Mail 2.0 Instead of texting, use Jott from your cell phone to
call a toll-free number and have a spoken note transcribed then texted, or e-mailed to yourself – or to anyone else you choose.
Great for leaving email messages while on the go or sending posts to your blog while on the road.
