I’ve loved Jott.com since it was introduced. I use it every day — mainly to send reminders to myself, but also as my primary interface into Google Calendar. No more. Jott ends five years of gamely trying to get people to understand its value on May 3rd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A lesser cause for mourning, Cisco flipped the switch on the Flip video camera line today<\/a>. Frankly, I’ve been waiting for this for a while.
