I wouldn't be quite so quick to count Twitter out: they're working hard to scale things and Sandy's back to chatting with Twitter on a minutely basis. As soon as their Jabber (IM) interface is fully recovered, we will be resuming our efforts to hook back in with a direct Jabber-to-Jabber conduit and at that point will certainly consider direct Jabber to Sandy support. – Rael Dornfest, on June 26, 2008 09:59

Yep, with the death of Twitter this would be great.

I asked Rael and he said that Jott already had this feature. I wasn't sure, so I checked it out again.

Initially I tried setting Jott so that it sends "confirmation text messages". (http://jott.com/settings_phone.aspx) This didn't do what I wanted though..

The correct thing to do is to edit your "Jott link" for Sandy. In Jott, click "links" , then click on the "Edit" for your Sandy link. Finally check the "Send SMS Response:" button and save.

As a side note: there is an additional problem in Jott. It turns out that you have to be careful that you don't have yourself listed as a contact. (The same phone number you registered with Jott) Evidently that confuses the service. See this link. (http://jott.com/jott/faq.html#a58)

Still, this solution will have Jott send an "SMS response" for *every* Jott you make to Sandy. Not just the ones where you want her to lookup something.

Oooo... I found something cool. At the risk of seeming rude (and I will immediately switch back to using Sandy for this when the feature becomes available), you CAN use a Twitter/Remember the Milk (rememberthemilk.com) combo to have your tagged to-do lists (created/managed on RTM) sent to you via sms. If your list is longer than what will fit in one sms, you'll continue receiving SMS messages until you've received all of the items on your list.

Downside: when Twitter is down, this obviously doesn't work.

Not perfect but does the job. Seriously, this feature is the only reason I opened up an RTM account, and it seems to work pretty well (I'm planning a huge family event, and this feature is a godsend.) I will gladly consolidate to IWantSandy when Sandy offers this feature!

p.s. You can also use Jott/RTM link to add items to lists if you'd prefer, and use the "tag with" voice command to tag the item as you see fit (e.g. "groceries".)

I have been trying all day to figure out how to get Sandy to text me my grocery list!! I'm glad other people are looking for this feature.

I kinda-almost found a workaround for this. I found a free service (http://www.mutube.com/projects/open-e...) that will take an email and forward it as an SMS message to your phone. I then wrote a filter/rule in my email client to forward any message from Sandy with the word "lookup" in it to the service. The problem is all the heading info is more than 160 characters so all you see in the text message is the forwarding information!

What I need is either a email to sms service that has a good formatter built in or an email client with the same.
