Big in Japan Mashup: Jott to Twitter (Jaiku and WordPress too)
April 23, 2007
Big in Japan’s 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. Update: it is up and running here. 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.

This would have rocked in a full demo slot. It’s almost creepy to see the level of cross-platform and cross-communication-medium linkup that’s now possible. It’s a cool problem for Demo Camp Dallas that there is too much good stuff out there!

Excellent idea. You guys are really fresh thinkers but more importantly you execute even better. Nice to see an idea come to fruition so cleanly and quickly. Great Work!
