Your Jott page says to create a Jott account (free) and then come back to setup the link. Jott just exited beta and the free account does not support I Want Sandy. I realize this isn't your issue, but your website is still misleading..
I DMed some reminders last night for today, but didn't get any of them. Last night, I went on the website to make sure they were there, which they were. I changed the reminder time from '5 minutes before' to '1 minute before'. This morning I checked and a few of them didn't have a reminder at all (It didn't have the bullet that say "Email and twitter reminder at time) and, so far, the ones that did, didn't send a reminder. Any idea what's up? The ones that didn't have a reminder I added the tags Twitter and Email, but the ones that had them already but didn't send- not sure how to fix that.
Hmmm... I'm not getting email reminders after sending Sandy a message thru Twitter. They show up on the iwantsandy webpage and I get a direct message in Twitter as confirmation - but no email reminders.
I've been trying to update my e-mail settings but every time I click "save" I get the following error:
"Oops!
Please try again in a moment — the antacids should have taken effect by then.
Need more help? Join Sandy's people-powered customer service and support conversation. If you still need some help, feel free to email my helpers at help@iwantsandy.com, and someone will get back to you in person."
Upon further investigation it looks like the settings form will submit just fine as long as I don't change any of my default settings. But when I try to make changes and click "Save" I get the message above.
Wishlist: I'd like to see Sandy send my new contacts ("Remember Jonas 123-123-4444 jonas@example.com) get automatically imported to Gmail (as on option, of course). I suppose that may not be possible. I'm also aware that I can upload the .vcf file Sandy returns to Gmail, but that is much less convenient than an automatic, tell-sandy-and-forget-it solution like the one I'm whining for ;-)
An example given to try is "Remember Pat's wife's name is Christine." Why aren't contacts for Christine and Pat created with information in each stating that they are married?
I am trying to figure out how to set up multiple To Do's in one email. In other words, if I have a regular time to handly administrative tasks each day, I would rather send Sandy 1 email with multiple items to be added to my calendar.
Is this possible or would I need to send each one as an individual email?
Sandy can't send me tweets. Reminders aren't coming. Using the "Test" on the Twitter settings at iwantsandy.com gives an error message
"Oops! I wasn't able to send you a tweet. An unexpected error occurred."
Directr SMS has never worked for me (Rogers in Canada) so without Twitter, Sandy just won't be useful...
Setting up Twitter with Sandy, unexpected error sending me a direct message. I put in my twitter username, waited for a direct message with confirmation code and didn't get one. I clicked on send it again and Sandy had an error: "Oops! I wasn't able to send you a tweet. An unexpected error occurred."
Is there any way to update a task that you have not asked Sandy about? For example, if I know the name of the todo that I've created, and then want to update that todo, I don't want to have to ask Sandy to look that todo up first. Is there any way to do this?

Given the recent turbulence in web2.0 apps, Trying to compile a list of other web services that would work well for input'ing information to sandy, for Rael's consideration:
Currently:
* identi.ca - Twitter replacement with working IM support, based on Open-Source technology Laconica that might make integration easier
I have developed a (basic) working, iPhone-optimized web form that allows me to quickly get tasks to Sandy. (It's basically a web form with a PHP backend that does the mailing to Sandy.)
I'd love to bring this to others, but doing so would require that I create a membership framework that stores users' information -- otherwise the form wouldn't know your unique e-mail address for Sandy. As it is now, I just have my Sandy e-mail hardcoded into the scripts since I'm the only one using it.
So...I thought I'd look for some feedback here. Are folks willing to sign up for such a site and enter their personal info?
I just saw that Jott is out of beta, and now has Paid plans.. While they still offer limited free service, all of their "Productivity" links (of which IWS is one of them) are now only available to pay customers.
