Congratulations and farewell to I Want Sandy
November 25, 2008
If you haven’t heard yet, I Want Sandy is closing its doors on December 8th at 5 p.m. PST. All the details of this, and the CEO’s move to Twitter are available in a nice post from Rael Dornfest. So, what does this mean to all of our Jotters who love Sandy and use the I Want Sandy Jott Link?
1) Your I Want Sandy Jott Link will no longer work, but all of the Jott messages you have sent to I Want Sandy are still available to you on the Jott website, and in Jott Express.
2) Start adding items to your to-do lists via email with Jott and still receive email reminders. Follow the links to learn how to add a Jott Note or an item to a list via email or text message
3) Login to your Jott account, or open Jott Express and set a reminder by clicking on the bell icon. You can choose to receive that reminder via email and/or text message at a specific time and date.
[…] Congratulations and farewell to I Want Sandy - […]

I wanted Sandy, but she was just too difficult for me to manage, so I moved my to-dos and appointments to Jott. I would love it if Jott added some of Sandy’s functionality (but applied Jott’s own unsurpassed ease of use).
In a sense, Jott+iPhone (or whatever your smart device is) really did in the need for Sandy.
But good luck to her and her creators.

PS - Did you see the SixApart bought Pownce and scuttled the service — evidently they were only after the talent.

What feature “I want Sandy” had that Jott does not is the ability to do a “look up” of a list with a phone call and have the results texted back. I hope this can be part of Jott in the future. In the meantime I am trying to find one of the other Jott links that can do this.
