Here's our accompanying blog post: http://blog.notifo.com/how-to-create-bots-with-notifo-user-messaging http://blog.notifo.com/how-to-create-bots-with-notifo-user-m... In short - we think there are tons of interesting bots that can be built Notifo user messaging. We've been using a few internally for checking up on the server and misc stats. Please let us know if you have any questions! We recently created a developer Google Group if you'd like to tinker with more of our upcoming features before they're launched: http://groups.google.com/group/notifo-developers?hl=en http://groups.google.com/group/notifo-developers?hl=en

Looks interesting...Can you give insight in how you plan to make money on this?

  Creating bots like this requires a service account, which we will begin charging for in the near future. http://notifo.com/pricing http://notifo.com/pricing for more.

A while ago I had created an IM bot to which you could tell, for example: "Meeting with John next Friday at 11 pm" with natural language, just as above, and it would send you a message to remind you of it at that point. I wonder if I should recreate it using notifo. It'd be more convenient than IM, certainly...

As an aside, I was looking at the pricing page you linked to, and noticed that highlighting text (in Chrome, at least) on notifo.com results in blurry text. Just FYI.

  This is what it looks like for me in Chrome. What does it look like for you?

      Ah gotcha - I was thinking the text that was "highlighted" ie (span class="highlight").. not actual selected text. Yeah that is just the 1px text-shadow. I can make that disappear on selection. Thanks for the info.

        Yep, for me it looked like what thamer posted. Good deal.
