For Windows users, you can now bypass your browser and access your Vitalist account directly from your desktop. It is called VitaDesktop and a big thanks goes to Michael Prendergast for creating it.
VitaDesktop is a little application that can reside in your system tray. This efficient app should only take up 1/5 to 1/3 of the resources that Internet Explorer or Firefox does. Just double-click on the icon in your tray and your Vitalist account pops up in one of three modes: compact (mobile), iphone, or full.
Read more on the VitaDesktop blog or go here for the download.
Note: There is no formal affiliation between Vitalist and VitaDesktop.

A couple of weeks ago, we were informed on our user forums about a cool new way of adding actions to Vitalist through a website called Jott. Jott makes it easy to send new actions to your Vitalist account with voice messages. The messages are transcribed to text and emailed to your inbox.
These are the steps to send new actions to your Vitalist account with Jott:
- Sign up for a free Jott account
- Add your Vitalist email adress (username-pin@vitalist.com) as a contact in Jott
- Call Jott’s 1-800 number and leave a new action for your Vitalist contact
It is that easy. The new action should show up in your Vitalist inbox within a few minutes.

Shaun Inman has just released his latest version of Mint, a comprehensive web stats tool. I consider this a must have for any new site, and honestly I am not sure what I would do with out it. I guess the only downside to Mint being so good is that it can be very addictive.
As far as new features for Mint 2, I am most excited about the filtering by timespan on most tabs. For example, you can easily see the most visited pages in the last 2 hours, or check out where your referrals have come from in the last day only. These are very nice features built in to the default installation.
The new Visits graphs are also a nice addition, along with a new Pepper called Bird Feeder, which gives you a nice look at who is looking at your feeds.
My only complaint is the new look to Mint. For some reason it just doesn’t seem to have the same elegant, understated look as the previous version. The new style jumps out at you too much and is a little harder on the eyes.
