Last year we were very pleased to be named as a winner in Red Herring’s Top 100 European Start Ups.  Well now we’re even more pleased as we have been chosen as a finalist for their global awards.  

Here’s their press release…

Finalist City –Zygo Communications, today announced that it has been selected as a Finalist of the Red Herring 100 Global Award. Red Herring 100 winners and finalists from North America, Europe and Asia of the last three years are eligible for this coveted award. The Red Herring editorial team deploys a detailed process to whittle down a pool of 600 eligible, promising companies to the 200 finalists of this global award. Evaluations are made on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, innovation, management, global strategy, and ecosystem integration. The finalists, elite executives and venture capital leaders will celebrate the Top 100 Privately Held Companies from around the world in San Diego from January 14-16, 2009.

How many times have you turned round and said to someone “will you remind later me to…” - knowing full well you’re BOTH going to forget?

Of course, the more organised amongst us have ways to deal with these little ‘notes to self’ – from old fashioned pen and paper, to the latest digital devices, or just a damn good memory.

But unless you’ve got a memory like an elephant, or a degree in PDA instruction manuals, it’s likely that lots of those reminders, To-Dos and Eureka moments are going to slip through the net…

If you’ve ever read David Allen’s classic on leading a stress-free life - Getting Things Done – then you’ll know that your brain shouldn’t waste valuable space in your ‘mental RAM’ by just trying to remember stuff you can refer to somewhere else…

Well Jotterbot is a little gizmo that we have created, that lets you capture any thought on your mobile phone when you’re out and about, and sends it to your email so you can deal with it when you’re in front of your computer, cup of tea in hand. Whether it’s about sending your mum’s birthday card, picking up your dry cleaning, looking up the review for the camera you just saw in the shop window, downloading the i-player downloader your mate just told you about, or you’ve just ‘invented’ the next Google…  all you have to do is send a text to Jotterbot and he’ll send it onto your email. It’s dead simple.

It’s our little Christmas gift from Zygo for you – and don’t forget – Jotterbot’s not just for Christmas - you can use him whenever you like…
