      I received this email from Notifo


      Hi there,

      This is Chad, founder of Notifo. I wanted to reach out because you are an account owner of one or more Services on Notifo. This email is an announcement of some sad news.

      Over the past 20 months, Notifo has tried to be the best notification platform for multiple endpoints including iPhone, Android, Growl, Email, and a few more. Notifo has been my full-time job during this time.

      However, Notifo never gained enough traction with publishers or consumers to make enough revenue to pay the bills and sustain it as a company. As such, I have had to seek full-time employment elsewhere in order to pay my own living expenses.

      What does this mean for you and Notifo? Practically, it means that I will no longer be working full-time on Notifo. For now, Notifo will continue to run as-is with no further plans for development but will probably be shut down as a result. I will try to keep it alive as long as possible, but please know that it could go away at any moment. I will do my best to provide at least 30 days notice before Notifo is officially shut down.

      While Notifo will continue to run in the interim, I encourage you to find alternative methods to accomplish your services' goals.

      Some alternatives include:

      - Boxcar for iPhone/iPad - Instant Notifications for Facebook, Twitter, Email and More! — Boxcar
      - Prowl for iPhone - Prowl - iOS Push Notifications
      - SMS with Twilio - Twilio Cloud Communications | Web Service API for building Voice and SMS Applications
      - Urban Airship - Urban Airship - Powering Push Notifications, In-App Purchase, and Subscriptions for mobile applications across major mobile platforms.

      I want to thank all of you for using Notifo. I'm deeply sorry about this result.

      You may receive a few more emails from me regarding this situation. Please feel free to reply to this email to ask me any questions you may have.

      Thanks for all your support,
      -Chad

      It was used by many bot monitoring plugins.

      Will go back to the original Prowl API then.
