OT, but I've been seeing the "proud to be a co" thing on a lot of .co websites. I think I saw it on 500.co, last night. Seems like .co is trying to position itself as a premier, aspirational domain.
It's possibly a banner ad in disguise, and the .co registry using this kind of promotion as a way to legitimize their ccTLD as a gTLD. Maybe the registry is providing some kind of sponsorship or kickback. I presume it's similar in nature to the sites that display the fact they're hosted by Rackspace that you see every now and again.
Another push notification app that I have to pay for? What was wrong with Pushover? What does Push.co offer me that will make me switch away from Pushover and switch over all my services?
Easier when setting up via a website/frontend yes, but if I'm programming a script, I can just copy/paste the app token and user key and am done... Send a curl request and I have notifications straight away.
Interesting. Do you have a reasoned argument not to use Twitter, or are you opposed on some other grounds? I follow feeds on twitter that provide me value, and it's a great resource, so I'd be interested to hear an opposing view.
Not really, I just dislike their attitude towards third-party clients and their all-seeing button smeared across the web. They're just another data silo on the web.

Is this the same as "The .cc site must be from the Cocos Islands" kind of non-questions?
Seems much easier and user friendly if that is the case.
What's wrong with just subscribing to the twitter feeds?
See @newsyc20, @newsyc50, @newsyc150.

Having to use Twitter?
It will sms/email you when a link of your website either has been submitted to HN or reaches the frontpage.
