Are you tired of being too drunk to text at 4 a.m.? Does it upset you that your to old and grumpy too see the letters on your cell phone? Think texting and driving is dangerous? Tired of coming home drunk at 4 and deing too drunk to twitter? Don’t you wish you could just talk and have your twitts published or have your drunken thoughts manically appear on your blog?

ME TOO!!

How many times have you been taking a shit and thought of a way to end world hunger, only to forget your brilliant plan when you get back to your desk? Are you considering taking over the world? But just need a diabolical plan. Did you finally think of that plan while driving? OR while molesting the neighbors dog (everyone knows you don’t do that stuff you your own dog, the would be SICK!) Only to have forgotten your plan for world domination once you arrived back at your desk?

ME TOO!!!

Well, I have a solution for you!

You do?

Shut up! Let me talk!

Its called JOTT.COM

Jott.com?

Didn’t I say shut up?

I first found Jott.com via Pop candy over at USA today.com It sounded neat, so I thought I’d give it a try this afternoon while it was raining here in Kansas City. I was not expecting it to be the greatest web service ever in the history of web services.

Jott is a web based service that will convert your voice into text and post the message in your twitter account or your blog. Wether your blog is Wordpress, which is what I use, or blogspot.com which is very popular, or even Live Journal, and Typepad. You can even send voice messages to anyone via email which I probably won’t do. But I still think it pretty neat. There is also a lot of other cool sit but twitter and blog post is all that I’ll probably use it for.

It’s very easy to use.

Let’s use twitter as an example. First, after you sign up of course. You set up your links for Twitter or whatever your blog service is at the Jott.com home page. The add links button is on the lower right of your home page. Select which service you want to use and enter your infomaion and whalla. Your done. Next, call the number, and follow the instructions. Remember to talk clearly, botta boom batta bing, when your done just hang up.

Then wait a few minuets, Jott will convert your voice message to text and post it wherever you told it to. it will also leave a link so that everyone can here your voice recorded message. You’ll get a text message telling you that its done. It will also send you an email telling you exactly what was posted and a link to your recorded message.

I think its pretty kick ass so I might be using it alot. Especially to twitter while I’m driving, or having sex (seriously I’ve done that <:D ) or, when I’m away from my computer.

I haven’t figured out all of the draw backs to it yet. But one HUGE drawback is, that it’s a lot harder to talk out a blog post without sounding like a retard than it is to type one. I tried this one like 10 times before I gave up. I kept stumbling over words and sounded just plain retarded (der, der, der). So I think I’m going to change careers and get into public speaking. (natch)

Here is my first attempt earlier today, when I didn’t prepare anything. Maybe I should just start winging it.

Maybe I’ll get a good one in soon.

So check it out let me know what your think and if you sign up. All the cool kids are doing it.

Have a good week!

Thanks for reading The D Rules. And remember there is never a charge for being awesome!
