What I would consider using this is for having a voice contact form. If I deal with users who might be more accustomed to phoning someone instead of filling out web forms, I might tell them "you can call this number and give your suggestions, feeback, etc". Having an option of leaving a greeting message (and to inform them they're being recorded) would be nice.
If you're a developer, these are trivial to do with Twilio directly, but if people don't want to waste time reimplementing stuff they can outsource to you, it could be useful. There probably are other services which do exactly this, although I'm not aware of their names at the moment, as I hadn't had the need to use them yet.
I'll probably make the service completely free if it doesn't see any uptake.

iPhone limits the size of voice memos that I can email myself so for long memos I will use Call2Record.
Beautiful web design. Nice job.
How long did it take you to build it? What tech did you use?
I built the site in about 80 hours over 3 or 4 weeks. It was a nice distraction from my master's thesis... Which actually got finished about the same time as the site went live. :)
I used Google App Engine and Twilio, but I also built an audio processing module that runs as a daemon on a Dreamhost server. (The latter was a workaround to GAE's limitations on long-running processes and insertions into the app engine datastore)
It's a service for recording audio directly to 'the cloud' with any mobile phone.
Have you made any money off the service?

2. I worked on it part-time for 2 weeks. I'd say it was about 4-5 full days to put together but a lot of that time was spent learning new technologies/APIs I hadn't used before.
The tech used to build it are on the FAQ page: Tornado Redis Twilio Google URL Shortener ReCAPTCHA Mako Templates jQuery SimpleModal IcoJoy WinningTheme
I didn't put any time or efforts into polishing or marketing it, so if you (or anyone else) wants to team up, contact me at agranig@fonoso.com. Instead of twilio or something similar, I use my own SIP trunks to carriers, so for inbound calls, no fees are charged. It's easier to offer something for free with this approach :)
Jott has a monthly fee whereas Call2Record is pay as you go.
Jott is probably much more expensive unless you record a lot of audio ($4/month and $12/month compared to $1/hour)
Jott limits you to recording only up to 30 seconds of audio at a time whereas Call2Record will allow you to record for an unlimited amount of time.
Jott seems to have a bunch of other extra services and features that are built around and compliment their product.
