Is this a Colombian company?

Apparently, they're from Amsterdam. Now the "proud to be a co" bit just confuses me.

DjangoReinhardt• 13 years ago

OT, 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.

StavrosK4• 13 years ago

That's odd, why would the site owners care what .co is trying to do? I don't understand that banner at all...

Is this a Colombian company?

Is this the same as "The .cc site must be from the Cocos Islands" kind of non-questions?

StavrosK4• 13 years ago

Only if they have a "proud to be cc" banner on their sites.

Another 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?

Looks 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.

aranw2• 13 years ago

Easier 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.

Works only with iOS

The 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.

Having to use Twitter?

ColinWright2• 13 years ago

Interesting. 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.

In 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-overlo...

Also 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• 13 years ago

It's actually http://hnalerts.com/ (doesn't work with the www)

dennisvdvliet2• 13 years ago

Thanks for the feedback and interesting discussion about being a .co member.

dennisvdvliet2• 13 years ago

btw I feel this post should at least get 50 upvotes to make sure I get a push notification about it. So please help me ;-)
