Amber MacArther and Leo Laporte talked about our cool Jott/Twitter/Jaiku mashup called Egorcast on their net@nite show. Amber and Leo have been friends of Big in Japan since the PodServe days ~ thanks for the plug guys! More about Egorcast: the what, the how, and the why.
Alex blogged about the casual development effort here at Big in Japan in three posts:
Check out the what, how and why about Egorcast. It was a fun little project mashingup Twitter, Jaiku, WordPress and Jott, hopefully you enjoyed it…
Our April ‘casual application’ (i.e. an application that can be built in less than a week) release is almost ready for primetime. We started coding the application on Friday and had our first release this evening (at DemoCampDallas2). It works for me, but it is not ready for primetime. Here is the scoop:
EgorCast™ is a simple web service designed to integrate the functionality of jott.com and social mo-blogging (mobile blogging) services such as Twitter.com and Jaiku.com. Jott allows users to dial a predetermined number and record a 15 second message. Jott then transcribes the message and emails the transcription to your phone or email account. EgorCast provides a gateway between the messages from Jott and social mo-blogging services such as Twitter and Jaiku (or both if you want). EgorCast will also send your messages to your WordPress blog with a specific category or tag.
