Michael Arrington just posted about Jott, a company that is emerging from the shadows to offer voice to text delivery of voice messages: Jott to Convert Cell Phone Calls to Text It’s very simple – a user calls a specific phone number and leaves a voice message along with a recipient or recipients (an obvious…

Google announced this morning that it had purchased JotSpot, one of the more creative wiki application companies out there. One of the huge benefits of this is that Jot’s capabilities will now have a large infrastructure and essentially be free to use.

Between kicking off a new year at work, traveling from coast-to-coast, and trying to come off a Steeler Super Bowl high, I’ve just not been able to blog on a regular basis. That’ll be corrected soon enough, as I get back onto the GTD wagon and begin to check-off next actions over the next few…

Just like he says here, January 2006 has been a great month for fellow GTD’er, TabletPC’er, Weblogs Inc colleague, and pal Marc Orchant. The most recent buzz that Marc has generated is around an article that was published in American Airlines’ in-flight magazine American Way.
