Yesterday, I came to know about Notifu, a new web service, with which you can send instant messages to an individual or to a group of people, know if your message was received or not and gather responses to make decisions. I found it interesting, because it is instant, interactive and perfect for sending group messages. Let’s take a look at what you will get there!

Notifu supports all major browsers and can send a message via Email, SMS, Phone, AIM, Gtalk, ICQ, MSN IM and Yahoo IM. With Notifu, you can also track the delivery of your messages. You can learn which recipients have acknowledged receiving the message and which have not. You can even use a sequence of addresses that should be tried in order to deliver a message. This feature is helpful in case of urgent messages.

Notifu also allows the sender to optionally specify one or more Response Choices, which makes group decisions easier and faster. for example, you can give a set of choices for when/where to meet or which design to select and get the results tallied instantly when each responds.

Right now, Notifu is 100% free (including sending SMS and voice messages to anywhere in the world); however, it is likely that in the near future they will have two editions – Free Edition and Pro Edition. So, this is a good time to use their service, as it is all free now!

In order to use Notifu, you must register yourself as a member. But, they also offers a “Try It Unregistered” option, that will enable you to send messages and understand the service without opening an account. However, as an Unregistered User you cannot access your Notifu messages and contacts after leaving the www.notifu.com. Still, it is a nice option to try!
