Happy Holidays from Jott.

Dear Jotters,

I wanted to send a quick note to mark an important milestone for Jott: one year of being open to the public. It's been a blur, terrifying at times, and a blast. Without question, it's been the best year of my professional life, and I am lucky to work here.

We've survived the normal startup stuff: freak data center outages, bizarre neighboring tenants, broken romances, refurb hardware and surplus furniture. We've moved twice. And we acquired some great talent, from employees to investors. Check out some pictures of the Jott world, past and present, on our blog.

The product has been a work in process, and we've learned a ton. Early on, we had some bad transcriptions that people were (mostly) forgiving about. Some people couldn't understand why Jott didn't understand Mandarin, French and several other languages. We never did get Daily Jott right. Overall though, we've done a good job: our accuracy is approaching great, which has led to a quadrupling of the percent of Jotts sent to others. And Jott Links are just flat cool: you can shop on Amazon, price a house while sitting in your car, and create an appointment automatically with your voice.

As a holiday treat, we've cooked up a little something to help you with any kind of decision making you might have: just Jott to "8 Ball" and automatically receive your answer while still on the line with Jott. No text and emails with this one, just a little fun while deciding what you should do.

On behalf of everybody here at Jott, we wish you a safe and happy holiday period. 2008 is going to be great.

Thanks,
John
