Push-to-Chrome Is Live!
You can now push to Chrome from your Android phone with Pushbullet. It's crazy fast and makes Pushbullet even more useful!
Make sure you've got the updated Chrome extension here!
I know you've wanted this, and we've wanted it too. Pushbullet already made it easy to get things on your phone, and now we've made it just as easy to get things off.
We've Left Our Jobs To Work On Pushbullet And Can't Wait To Show You What's Coming Next!
Firefox Extension Is Ready!
Been waiting? You can get it right here :)
The Chrome extension has turned out to be critical to the way a lot of people use Pushbullet and now Firefox users can do the same things.
I've been hearing from Firefox users since I launched Pushbullet that they want an extension. It's taken me a bit to get the job done, but the Firefox extension is now available and has all of the functionality found in the Chrome extension.
What makes the extensions so useful?
The Firefox and Chrome extensions make using PushBullet much easier. Instead of having to go to the Pushbullet website in order to push things, you can just click on the extension and push them without having to stop what you were doing.
DashClock Extension Out!
The Pushbullet app can now be added as an extension to DashClock Widget, the new & very cool app from Roman Nurik.
After updating to Pushbullet version 9 (in the Play Store now), you can add Pushbullet as an extension to DashClock. Once you've added it, you'll see how many pushes you have in your inbox and get a sneak peak at the newest one. This is a great way to get a glimpse of your pushes and be able pop into your inbox quickly.

An API Is Born
The docs need some work but Pushbullet officially has an API that makes it easy to write software that can push to devices through Pushbullet.
Even though Pushbullet has only been out for a month, people have already written software libraries using it to enable them to push to devices. This is awesome and I've been impressed that the authors have overcome the lack of a proper API. Here's some of the projects I've seen:
The downside of Pushbullet not having an API when these projects were written, however, is that they have all had to require a user's Google account and password in order to work. The new API addresses this problem directly.
From 0 to 15,000 Users in 2 Weeks
I launched Pushbullet on January 20 of this year. Since then, over 15,000 people have signed up and have pushed over 25,000 things.
How did you get so many people to sign up so fast?
I believe that it was a combination of a very effective launch day blog post and people seeing value in Pushbullet. The launch day blog post was effective because I focused on exactly why Pushbullet was useful, giving concrete examples that were what I had in mind as I was building the features. I did this to help people 'get' what Pushbullet was all about and I believe it made a big difference in people seeing the value in what I had built.
This is different from many launch day blog posts for other apps and services I have read which have focused on the process of building whatever was launching, instead of its highlighting value.
