It does not lend to efficiency, since most newer phones come with a Memo application as a standard feature. Just as you can click open a kwiry application, you can click open your memo application and jot down your ideas. Also, as I mentioned on another board, kwiry is service dependent, which means that if I am underground in a subway, with no service bars, I cannot send myself anything. if my stop is 20 minutes away (I. e. When I travel to work), I may well have forgotten my idea by the time my phone gets service again. In contrast, a memo application is always available, service or not. Offering as rss feed is quite circuitous as well. This means a need to either fire up an RSS feed reader on your phone, digging into a subfolder, then locating your notes! Or alternatively, havinng access to a PC to get to your feeds. I say again and again that this is equivalent to calling a "wake up call" service and asking that they call you at 9am to get you up, as opposed to simply using an alarm clock on your dresser!!

On my simple dumb phone I've got a note option but by the time I get to it I've already forgotten what I was going to write down. I was sending texts or e-mails to myself and that worked pretty good but this just seemed like a simple extension of that. I signed up for this the day I saw it on Giz.
