Re:Notifo (YC W10) gets a Co-Founder... Me on Wednesday June 16, 2010 @01:31PM (#1436297)
this is what i want to know. I'm not sure and I'm not trying to thread crap but is the title Co-Founder the proper word to use? I'm curious because wouldn't a "founder" be someone who started the company from the beginning? From what I understand Paul joined afterwards (after the angel investing).

i've used this service and i think it's great! I'm a huge google voice sms user and I hated the fact that i couldn't get PUSH notifications when new messages would come in. Notifo solved the problem and it works great. Yes there were other options like boxcar but that required me to leave my computer on all day while Notifo didnt. BIG PLUS!

Only downside is whenever i try to open the app on my ipod touch - it always crashes - even when installing the new update. But it's not a huge issue because i still get notifications coming in.

hopefully the upload speed is faster than 40kb/s :-D

dropbox is great but their upload speeds kills the service. I get around 40-60kb/s while on other sites i get 400-500kb/s

UI needs work. How is this any different from Google Tasks? Most people would like to incorporate it in their emails - so Google Task already fits the mold.

Might be useful for a desktop app - maybe AIR?
