Thanks a lot for giving the contact id of a right person. I needed that very badly since a quite long time.

Thank you very much. I will surely contact Amit.

1. If you can see the subscribers of public feeds, then it is a bug that must be fixed. As for converting of feeds to view numbers, yes, it is a loophole. We will look into how it can be avoided.
5. In case changing MOB type is not working for you, please send the details of the MOB to amit.kumar@netcore.co.in and we will look into it.

Feel free to mail Amit if you find any bugs in using MOBs or Chat.

Thanks for your feedback.

Glad to see your comment here. Actually, I have mailed the contact id tens of times and could receive a reply only once. Even that did not meet my expectations.

Comming to the points discussed.

1. Privacy: I maintain two MOBs – one is of my engg friends and other is of my 12th friends. The first is of private and the other public. I can view members of both MOBs. You have clearly informed in your 5th point that private and public can be switched easily. Won’t it be possible that you create a MOB in public, gain lots members and convert into private and get numbers of all subscribers.

2. Delay: We will wait as till today, none have been able to beat MyToday. If someone start a killer startup which serves better than MyToday, it will take no time for users to switch that. I have listed few of your competitors here. Just have a look. Sooner the better for improvement.

3. Format: I tested, it works. Thanks for the great improvement. Thanks and congrats for that.

4. Interface: If you have an ultimate instant sms service, interface is not of much consideration, as Indians are not much familiar with internet as they are with mobile. But good interface is still a must. Take time, but design THE BEST.

5. Change of MOB type: Again it is not working for me. Our 1st community was created some 3-4 months back and it could not be changed. But the 2nd one created some 2 weeks back accepts change in type. Could you please explain what is that Category indicate in mob editing page. I could not notice any difference when I used Alumni or Friends. Could you please be more clear about that.

I feel very happy to receive comments from the founders/tech-team of great services. I already had such credit when I reviewed toktumi, vakow, icall. Hope you reply to my qureies in this comment.

I’m a developer working on MyToday. Thanks for your feedback… let me address some of them..
1. Privacy – The phone number can seen by the MOB admin only if you have chosen to moderate subscription to it. So, the admin of a private MOB knows the phone numbers of the people s/he has invited, or accepted after moderation. Admins of public groups cannot see phone numbers.
2. Delays in delivery – We have to apologize here. There have been some capacity issues which have led to poor quality service over the last two months. But, this should improve very soon. Thanks for your patience!
3. Format of message – Just using MOBNAME works for now. There are no plans to disable it any time soon, but we may at some point in the future.
4. Bad interface – Actually, the MOB management interface is intended for GPRS users only. It’s not meant to be accessed in a web browser where it definitely does not look good. We need to put out a proper web interface soon….
5. Change in MOB type – You should be able to change from private to public and back by going to the “Manage MOBS” link as soon as you log in to http://pub.mytoday.com

They do a great work….. keeping updated millions of customers is a really good job….
