Using I Want Sandy with ReQall?
Can I use I Want Sandy with Reqall? I just want to send Sandy notes she can understand. I'm a technotard so I need instructions. I need to do this with voice input.

Inappropriate?I'm guessing the employees participating don't know how to do this, if after 3 days there's been no answer.
There are many, many people out there looking for an alternative to Jott. I've seen on at least three forums now where people are trying to figure out how to talk to Iwantsandy.com via reQall. Sandy is on Get Satisfaction if you want to check it out. FYI, people are also discussing using Dial2Do instead because they make it easy to talk to Sandy. And FYI, had they treated their beta testers a bit better people wouldn't be actively looking for alternatives.
The problem is the way you have set up sharing, needing the recipient to accept the invitation, a virtual assistant like Sandy has no way of accepting the invitation.
Jott has a widget set up so all the user has to do is click it. Perhaps you could consider adding this as a service? Making reQall usable with more services can only be a good thing.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi! We're aware people want to use I Want Sandy with reQall - sorry for the slow response on our end. As you posted here, there's a way to do it, but it's a bit complex.
We're working on a clean, easy way to make this sort of thing work, but it would be useful to hear how people would like the two services to integrate. For example, would you still want email notification of the item you'd shared to Sandy? Would you want to see these items in your shared reminders?
I’m excited at interoperability!

Inappropriate?Hi Grant,
Actually, I found out my solution doesn't work. The problem is that at one point Sandy(my personal account at Sandy) needs an email from reQall, and it needs to be a personal email. There is no way I can figure out to do that, since messages come from the generic reQall email, which one Sandy user has already input (security issue). And reQall's message will have quotes around it, so Sandy can't read it. The story of my and one other user's experiments is here: http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy... .
IF it could be made to work, I don't mind the multiple reminders. And they wouldn't need to be shared--probably wouldn't have to be. Because I'd just be sending messages to Sandy via reQall.
I know Sandy's people (Rael Dornfest) have been very good about making Sandy work with other services in the past and so has reQall, so I hope you can get it worked out!
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Thanks for the update Tracy. We're aware that we have a ways to go in playing nice with email-based services - more on this in the not-too-distant future.
I’m hacking away!

Inappropriate?I think there's a hack which may allow you to integrate the two, but it isn't clean. If you use Yahoo Pipes, you can filter your reQall RSS feed to extract only the entries with the keywords you want to use for iwantsandy (e.g. remember and remind) - if you take the resulting RSS feed, you can use www.rssfwd.com to send these entries to a GMail account, which can forward those to iwantsandy. (The result is reQall RSS -> Yahoo Pipes RSS -> rssfwd -> GMail -> iwantsandy)
It is really hackish and nasty though, and introduces huge latencies as each step updates and continues along.
Personally, I'd just like to be able to send commands to iwantsandy through reQall. I'm perfectly happy if I simply get iwantsandy e-mails in response - if there is some more powerful way to integrate the two, I'd be curious, but just e-mail results are fine by me.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Keep me posted on any updates to this I'd also like some support for Reqall.

Inappropriate?In addition to integration on the voice input/creation front (which would be fab) I would love it if ReQall and iWantSandy could be integrated somehow for the IM reminders.
I love my IM reminders because sometimes I have my phone on my person and sometimes I do not. It pinging both SMS and IM is the ideal method for me. But I never got the Sandy IM via Twitter method to work and IM reminders are so easy to set up with ReQall.
