We're growing!

I am happy to say that a lot of people have been joining TxtVox and signing up for alerts. And the feedback that we've received from folks so far has been very positive. It's gratifying to see an idea turn into reality! That's what I love about building businesses.

During this early growth stage, we have experienced a few growing pains (keep in mind, the site is still in Beta). We are aware of a few sporadic delivery problems with various alerts. We are addressing this issue and we apologize for any inconvenience.

We will be adding several additional alerts to the site soon. Some practical, some entertaining. I hope you will give them a try. As a result of all the new alerts we've been introducing, we think it's a good idea to redesign our home page. We want to display the alerts in a more efficient way that doesn't require so much scrolling. The new page has been designed and is currently being tested. It should be launched soon. Please give us your feedback about the new page once it's live.

Have you noticed that when you get longer alerts, we have started including a link to a WAP page so that you can read the entire alert? When the content of an alert is too long, we can't fit it all into a text message. So we added a link (preceded by "MORE>"). Just click through on that link to read the entire alert. It's a WAP page, so it will work from any WAP-enabled device.

TxtVox alerts look great on the new iPhone. Wow!

Just a reminder that we are able to bring you the TxtVox service without charge because we are supported by our advertisers. Please support them when possible by clicking on their ads and taking advantage of their offers. Thanks :)

Thanks for your continued support.
