Tags: , , , | Added: 28 Jan, 2008 (2,270 Views)

JotYou is one of a kind service that lets you send location based text messages. In other words, by using JotYou you can send messages to others so they get them only when they are in the area you specify. If they don’t get there within specified time frame they never get it.

  • 1. Send a message and specify a delivery time and target location.
  • 2. When recipient/s arrive at the specified location JotYou sends them your message.

So, why would anyone use this app? Ever plan to pick up something on the way home, but drive right by the place and simply forget? If you use JotYou it can remind you as you pass-by those ‘to remember’ locations. You can also use it greet friends when they are in the neighborhood, play scavenger hunts, etc. The possibilities are endless. On top of that, it can be accessed both from PC and mobile phone.
