My mind is filled with ideas. Jott sounds like a great way to capture those ideas, especially if they can later appear in text form where I can edit and restructure.<BR/>Thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-90091782083567142612008-03-26T15:47:00.000-05:002008-03-26T15:47:00.000-05:00Interesting idea.

Turns out that saying them aloud is the most important part of the process, though. Jott removes the embarrassment of listening to yourself. <BR/><BR/>One similar service that can cut out the editing if you're feeling very coherent and broadcast ready: Utterz. You can mash up audio, video, text from your phone and blast it straight to your blog (i.e., Blogger and Wordpress). <BR/><BR/>Do I use it to natter from the car?
