Jott, Twitter, Jaiku Mashup

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.

 

But Will They Wear Your T Shirt?

You send out free t shirts because 1) t shirts are fun & you are fun and 2) people will put them on, snap a photo and post them to flickr. And because you really want to be the skinnycorp boyz when you grow up.

M*A*S*HUP!

We are huge fans of Valleyschwag. (In fact, I have just checked my mailbox three times this afternoon hoping that they made a rare double trip to my house just to drop off my new t shirts.) This edition of the the schwag-by-mail club includes a Big in Japan shirt we did: summer versions of the Mashup t-shirts we did around the Web 2.0 show last year.  As seen on actual rockstars like Nivi.
