Text Yourself Reminders

March 10th, 2008  |  Published in Mobile, Productivity  |  1 Comment

kwiry-giant-logo A new startup called kwiry, wants to help you remember those pesky, forgettable mental notes you make throughout the day. Their motto,"text is before you forget it," pretty much describes their service - text messages are send from your phone to your online account. Later, when you’re back at your computer, you’ll have an email from kwiry to remind you of your note.

You can also log into kwiry.com to see search results for your text. For example, if you had texted "NIN new album", your search results would display info about the album.

What’s strange about kwiry is that they decided that these notes are something worth building a social network around. On kwiry, you can share your notes with friends and see what’s they’re into as well. (Buy milk? Call Dad?) Hmm…I think kwiry should drop the social aspect and just focus on the notes, but that’s just me.

This could still be a useful service, but it has a lot to do before it’s comparable with Jott, whose new offerings are always a step ahead. For example, Jott’s most recent feature for Blackberry users lets them respond to emails by voice, via a "Reply with Jott" option. Genius.
