Hey, you probably already know this, but Nozbe has a Jott link you can setup with a couple clicks. Then you can Jott right to your Nozbe todo list. If you haven't already set that up, just log into Jott, click the Jott Links tab and scroll down to find Nozbe.

I use Jott all the time! Especially on the road since I drive a lot for my job. Everything from todo reminders, to toll info (so I don't have to get a receipt). Jott is wonderful!

Other than that - I'm all about simplicity and speed. I was reading some comments on a todo list review post (somewhere), and one guy said, "OK, stop reading right now and go add "Call mom" to your to-do list and then come back to this post." His point was that most web 2.0 apps just aren't practical because they take too long to access and aren't "at your fingertips" when you need them.

Even my PDA can take too long because I have to unlock it, find the task list icon, click on it, type in my text and then fiddle around with the thumbwheel (blackberry) to save it.

However, until something better comes along, I have to use my blackberry because it's ALWAYS with me, and it syncs with Outlook which I'm always in. Together with Jott, it's a pretty good combo for capturing stuff on the fly and somewhat quickly.

Yes! I linked up Jott the other day for things to go straight into my inbox on Nozbe...its been pretty awesome with Jott on speed dial.

As for Web 2.0 apps being slow, that is understandable, but I am not using Nozbe as a ubiquitous capture tool, but start utilizing it once I start to process...so as I sit down with my inbox, I can enter things in and dont have to worry about being quick. So my hipster PDA is first as it takes 10 seconds or less, then if I cant write I use Jott which takes no more than 30 seconds...I almost prefer Jott though as it goes right into my Nozbe inbox.
