Well, calling a spade a spade... Our point is, that when you opt to receive certain content (like say, goals or runs being scored in sports) you're more likely to value a brand for providing this info than one simply spamming you with adds. It's up to the company sending you push to send you only push you want to receive, otherwise it's just spam which might make you a former customer. We only supply the tech, companies/individuals decide what to do with it.

But most companies won't bother with differencing, that's the problem.

We completely agree. Reading it, you can almost feel what they were feeling - sign of a great story.

Exactly, we should be way past the stereotypes that crippled society for ages. Programming is for everyone, initiatives like this one are a good step in that direction.

Please spread this poll to other developers that you know

Really helpful for web designers and developers

This is really cool! Have you thought about the possibility of contacting the gamers via SMS or USSD (for polls and feedback). When you see that they haven't used a game for a while?...etc...? Give our Rest api beta a try!

Yes, polls, surveys and feedbacks are in the roadmap. We are not a lot interested in SMS/USSD since it's really under control of operators, but would like to invest more in exchanging data using 3G/4G networks.

It's really a good idea to trigger rules when an app is not used after a certain period of time. Will think on it :)

(thumbsup!) :)

It would be interesting to play with your API since Countly team is composed of all telco professionals :)

For mobile apps you need a smart phone right? But when you use our REST APIs you (your end user) doesn't need a smart phone in order to use your app. Let's say that you have already developed a E-mail client app for a smart phone, and want to modify it so that every phone user can access their e-mails. You can use our APIs and deliver the email via SMS or USSD to the end user. The Smart phone market is huge, that's true. But think of all the people in the world that have "ordinary" cell phones, and they want to spend e.g. 3 $ a month to get their emails.....or to update their Facebook status via an "old/featured" cell phone? What about does guys? That's where www.parseco.com steps in.

alright...signing up!

Hi everyone! We've been working really hard to enable all interested developers around the globe to use our Rest-ful APIs, to bring more value to their current product by implementing SMS/USSD/HLR and other technologies. Basically using our APIs u can turn an old cell phone into a smart phone (your end user can use the feature phone to access e-mail, get weather reports, check if he left the stow on at home....you name it.) If you are interested in beta testing please drop us you e-mail at www.parseco.com.

Thx!

Rene.
