My Jott Story
December 8, 2008Thanks to everyone who sent in a story about how they use Jott. It was great to read so much about all of you, why you value the product and how it’s come to help in your everyday life. Below are the ten best stories we received, plus an extra one (it was too hard to choose ten!). The grand prize winner announcement is in this month’s newsletter!
Terry G. uses Jott to juggle the many duties his job as a Housing Administrator of a non-profit requires of him. With a staff of only two people, Jott is a resource Terry depends on to keep track of the condition of building and grounds he manages and communicate with residents.
Kerryn is a busy mom of two, who wrote to tell us about two times Jott helped her out with her kids. The first time Jott served as a way for her five year old daughter to create a list of Chanukah gifts, adding all the toys in the store she’d like, while still letting her Mom get her shopping done. The second time as a reminder to mend a stuffed animal, ensuring that a favorite Eeyore doll would be repaired and drying the tears of an (understandably!) upset child.
Andy C. used Jott to announce to all his Twitter friends that he was off to see his first grandchild! He wrote to let us know how easy it was to share this great moment with his entire network, even while embarking on a six hour drive.
Kimberly C. uses to Jott to juggle all the different companies she works with for her bookkeeping company. She credited Jott with helping her stay profitable and on track!
Paula G. at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay uses Jott for the campus’s emergency website. She’s set up a system that allows a Jott Link to act as a backup means of communication in case of a computer outage on the campus.
Kathryn P. uses Jott to stay in touch with her many students. As the director of an education non-profit that gives adults living on low incomes access to free classes, she uses Jott to stay in touch with alumni and students through group messaging. She says it plays a big role in keeping current students motivated, and those who have graduated still connected.
Jason L. wrote to tell us how Jott helped him overcome difficulty typing, making it easy for him to text, keep lists and update his Facebook status.
Dennis S. wrote to say that Jott has saved him $150 at a time, more than a few times, by reminding him of important appointments that he could not miss.
Glenn H. works for trade shows and uses Jott to keep track of prospective clients and what they talked about. He notes that his prospects are always amazed at his great memory and grasp of details.
Jamison H. used Jott one day to save his wife from having to sit in traffic. Knowing she would be heading out on the same road he was on, and one an accident had just happened on, he was able to send a Jott message to his wife so she could avoid the mess and get home on time.
Eddie M. wrote to tell us how he used Jott to blog while on a cross country trip with his wife. He would send short posts from different cities he was in, or to note an important event. His blogging was even picked up by a few travel sites as a great way to keep track of travels!
