Blogging is article-centric; one needs to have something to say that is of interest to the sort of person who wants to sit down for two, three, perhaps five minutes. Archived blog articles also tend to retain relevance, whereas one really isn't missing much if he only reads the 10 most recent Tweets or Jotts.

The account is free and they provide a phone number for you to call. You can categorize your notes via the voice interface as well. The notes get automatically transcribed for you. I don't believe Jott supports transcribing an entire blog post. But it might be just the thing for notes and microblogging. http://www.jott.com If you feel like you might have the occasional though you would like to have transcribed, you should try Jott.

I find <a href="http://wphoneplugin.org/" rel="nofollow">wphone</a> reasonably useful on a blackberry, although I'd much rather see a native blackberry app. As far as microblogging, I only finally had enough friends on twitter for it to be worthwhile, right when I moved, so it's not worthwhile anymore. facebook has enough real-world relevance to be worth doing, when it's not too intrusive.
