SEATTLE, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile service Jott.com today announced Jott Feeds, a new feature that allows customers to listen to RSS feeds from their phones. The technology converts text content to audio, which is delivered via Jott.com's toll-free phone number. Jott Feeds are ideal for accessing personalized content while in car or otherwise on the go, and join other Jott tools that are designed to help simplify communication, organization, and access to information. All Jott features are available by dialing (866) JOTT 123, from any phone, and with no downloads.
Personalization is key to Jott Feeds' streamlined experience. Customers can listen to friends' Twitter feeds, follow their Facebook(R) status, or get a custom feed exclusively about their favorite professional sports franchise. For example, the SmartMoney(R) RSS feed can be added to Jott accounts and personalized to read back financial news on specific companies customers want to follow. Customers then call 866-JOTT-123 and say "Jott Feeds" at the prompt. When asked "Which feed," they simply reply "SmartMoney," and Jott will instantly deliver over the phone the latest financial headlines about their chosen companies.
Current Jott customers can immediately use any of the five ready-to-go Jott Feeds: TechCrunch, Lifehacker, Mashable, Yahoo(R)! News and Yahoo! Weather. Over fifty other 'Featured Feeds' are pre-configured and easily added with the click of a button. In addition, customers can add access to any RSS feed they wish. More information about Jott Feeds is available at http://jott.com/jott/feeds.html.
Jott CEO John Pollard commented, "We are very excited about this addition to our mobile service. Jott Feeds are convenient and simple, with no tiresome menus. Just speed dial Jott on your way to work, or while running errands, and you can listen to your favorite web updates right on your phone. It's like having personalized news radio - with all the control of a music player."
Jott Feeds make it easy for web site publishers to stay connected with their customers. After one click on a Jott Feeds "badge" (which can easily be added to any publisher's web site), their customers can get updates by calling Jott's toll-free number, and saying the name of their service.
Jott Feeds is currently in Beta. Other voice-powered features of the Jott service include the ability to create notes, lists and reminders; send hands- free text messages and emails; and connect to web services like Twitter and Amazon. Jott accounts are free, and accessible to anyone with a phone.
