Email or text a Thought or Note into my Brain
I would love to be able to email and/or text a Thought or Note into my Brain while away from my PC. As one learns to use PB to manage one's creativity, tasks, "life," there may be times when an item comes up that belongs in the PB. I'd love to be able to email or text it in to my PB, even if it defaulted to a "holding Thought" of some sort.

Not sure how this would work successfully. One might begin with a thought functioning as a drop-box but then getting one's email system (not to mention, there are so many of these) to forward these messages properly.
The one way that it might work 100% of the time is using a web service to host the drop box and then forwarding the message to a hosted brain on web-brain. With user's brains on automatic sync then the new thought would show up with no problem.

[10 of 10] This would be extremely helpful for those of us implementing GTD, as these could be added as Child thoughts to specific thoughts, such as our Inbox. This could open up multiple possibilities -- 1) RSS feeds, although we would probably want these to be added as attachments; 2) or e-mail filters which could be forwarded to specific thoughts?; 3)...

Allowing thoughts to be added to webbrain via email would help to make PB/Webbrain to be a central inbox for ideas, tasks etc with easy access from email enabled mobile phones.

Adding to this, would be nice to have the notes and attachments "merge" with an existing Thought if the Thought name matched one already there.

The idea is not really to make PB your email client. It's to provide an alternate means of adding data to your brain. For example, you're in a restaurant and you have an idea. You pull out your iPhone and email a message to yourself describing the idea. When you get home later on, that idea has already been loaded into your brain's inbox, ready to be linked to its proper context, etc...
