- StavrosK 13y agoIs this a Colombian company? Apparently, they're from Amsterdam. Now the "proud to be a co" bit just confuses me.
- DjangoReinhardt 13y agoOT, but I've been seeing the "proud to be a co" thing on a lot of .co websites. I think I saw it on 500.co, last night. Seems like .co is trying to position itself as a premier, aspirational domain.
- StavrosK 13y agoThat's odd, why would the site owners care what .co is trying to do? I don't understand that banner at all...
- kintamanimatt 13y agoIt's possibly a banner ad in disguise, and the .co registry using this kind of promotion as a way to legitimize their ccTLD as a gTLD. Maybe the registry is providing some kind of sponsorship or kickback. I presume it's similar in nature to the sites that display the fact they're hosted by Rackspace that you see every now and again.
- StavrosK 13y agoLooks like you're right, the .co registry is offering some perks if you buy a .co domain, so it might be linked to that: http://www.go.co/membership-perks/ http://www.go.co/membership-perks/
- huhtenberg 13y ago> Is this a Colombian company? Is this the same as "The .cc site must be from the Cocos Islands" kind of non-questions?
- StavrosK 13y agoOnly if they have a "proud to be cc" banner on their sites.
- aranw 13y agoAnother push notification app that I have to pay for? What was wrong with Pushover? What does Push.co offer me that will make me switch away from Pushover and switch over all my services?
- jtokoph 13y agoLooks like they support oAuth to authorize an app to send you notifications instead of having to copy/paste/type a pin code into an app. Seems much easier and user friendly if that is the case.
- aranw 13y agoEasier when setting up via a website/frontend yes, but if I'm programming a script, I can just copy/paste the app token and user key and am done... Send a curl request and I have notifications straight away.
- n3bu 13y agoWorks only with iOS
- ColinWright 13y agoThe web site is unreadable on a Blackberry (not that that matters much). What's wrong with just subscribing to the twitter feeds? See @newsyc20, @newsyc50, @newsyc150.

- icebraining 13y agoWhat's wrong with just subscribing to the twitter feeds? Having to use Twitter?
- ColinWright 13y agoInteresting. Do you have a reasoned argument not to use Twitter, or are you opposed on some other grounds? I follow feeds on twitter that provide me value, and it's a great resource, so I'd be interested to hear an opposing view.
- icebraining 13y agoNot really, I just dislike their attitude towards third-party clients and their all-seeing button smeared across the web. They're just another data silo on the web.
- squidi 13y agoIn case anyone is not aware of it, Jeff Miller has created twitter and RSS feeds which also provide the same info (albeit without push): http://talkfast.org/2010/07/23/a-cure-for-hacker-news-overload/ http://talkfast.org/2010/07/23/a-cure-for-hacker-news-overlo...
- andreasklinger 13y agoAlso checkout www.hnalerts.com by @robfitz It will sms/email you when a link of your website either has been submitted to HN or reaches the frontpage.
- michaelmior 13y agoIt's actually http://hnalerts.com/ http://hnalerts.com/ (doesn't work with the www)
- dennisvdvliet 13y agoThanks for the feedback and interesting discussion about being a .co member.
- dennisvdvliet 13y agobtw I feel this post should at least get 50 upvotes to make sure I get a push notification about it. So please help me ;-)
