Congrats! It's very sleek and awesome just like the the hall website.

Thanks Rob - please let us know if you have any product feedback/requests! hello @ hall-inc.com

Honest question from an aspiring entrepreneur: How do you plan to stay afloat/relevant when Apple has made it clear they are targeting platform integrated notifications in Mountain Lion?

@lbotos if your talking about Apple's Messages (I guess you could call it a platform), it would actually make applications like Hall.com even more powerful. Now if you are talking about Hall.com competing with iChat(or Messages or whatever apple chooses to call it), then I believe instant messaging is only one part of Hall.com's abilities. I believe platforms like Hall.com and its ilk will drive the next generation of collab tools taking what IM's, IRC's, Email clients etc has done very well and either complement them or disrupt them.

Honest Feedback:

I missed the majority of what Hall does. This blogpost was really tailored to people who wanted that feature implemented. I thought you only were a notifications app, not a full collaborative platform. Sorry for any confusion caused by my oversight!
