- sjs 15y agoSo does email. Email will be around in 5-10 years and is not tied to a company. Who knows what will happen to Twitter.
- ErrantX 15y agoIf my washing machine emailed me that would likely get lost in the noise. A Twitter DM is, relatively speaking, more noticeable. (Although; an actual direct notification service would be even better)
- acgourley 15y agoWait, really? You must use email and twitter in strange ways. I would also suggest setting up a "priority" email path for certain cases, like this.
- ErrantX 15y agoOn my phone there is no simple way to prioritise it; that happens when I sit in front of the computer and cut through my pile of email :) So for something that I consistently need to notice at the time it arrives, things like SMS, Twitter DM or other low-traffic notifications are better.
- trafficlight 15y agoWhat's wrong with SMS?
- liedra 15y agoIt can cost extra money in many places? Also, hooking it up to the mobile phone network requires more hardware or reliance on a SMS gateway.
- absconditus 15y agoMany providers provide email addresses for each number that causes an SMS message to be sent.
- liedra 15y agoSome providers, I think you mean.
