Pushover makes it easy to send real-time notifications to your Android and iOS devices.
I love the fact its simple and works with ifttt. Heck I can imagine some scenarios with ifttt and taskrabbit. But I’m left wondering the advantages of a private push service over using something like xmpp/jabber?
Yes its going to be somewhat cheaper than using SMS, more extensible than twitter direct message and less hassle than xmpp? But running yet another service on your phone? Isn’t this what Amazon SNS was about?
