Rescu.me, my fake txt/phone service, continues to randomly get press, and this week was the biggest spike of all: Lifehacker. I think I got more traffic to the site this week than in the past 6 months put together!
Beyond Lifehacker, rescu.me got a bunch of other coverage this week, including:
- Revision 3’s Hak5 (video above)
- Aol’s switched.com blog (and on Aol’s homepage briefly!)
- Glamour Magazine’s Smitten blog
- MakeUseOf.com
- Ken Rutkowski’s KenRadio
- UrbanDaddy
I built rescu.me purely for fun and to try out the twilio sms api, so it’s been pretty cool to see people use and talk about it, especially on these “professional” blogs and shows.
There is the little problem that I’m personally paying for a bunch of twilio usage, and haven’t really added any ways to make money yet, but people seem to like it, and I’ve definitely received a bunch of great product ideas if I can find the time to build them.
