Dial2Do is no longer free as of today, either!!! Dial2Do announced today (12-21-2009) that it is no longer free, either, except for the "basic" service which is reminders only (no email, texting, or other services unless you buy the pro access). So now the two services both cost money... wonder which one will survive, if any? Ugh… Dial2Do is no longer free as of today, either!!!

And a combination hard/soft drive? And somewhere, may a little less accessible in most minds, there is a surefire rapid calculating machine. What exactly did you take away from the innovation, game, etc. unconference yesterday? Anything to write about? I read one of your earlier blogs and remembered (hard/soft drive memory) my interview with Claude Levi-Strauss for a radio show I used to coproduce for CBS Radio called Science Editor. I think L-S was only in his 70s but his English was so bad it was incomprehensible for radio so I couldn't use any of the interview, which was mostly about Tristes-Tropiques and my queries, mostly about what's so good about living like that (in a pre-medieval state). i find all these mind mapping programs simplistic compared to how i imagine the real mind operates: with lots of Flash, Anime, and a hearty injection of random memory.

Now everyone will have to pay $4 a month to use it. Again, I look forward to see how Dial2Do will deal with the buisness model challanges Jott has. Will they improve advertising and keep it free?; will that have to charge everone like Jott? Follow "Scotsman on a Horse" @http://2thyme.wordpress.com/ for the latest on this. TechCrunch should hire "Scotsman on a Horse" since he scooped them.
