Google Wave killer, Nurphy.com

Recently I bumped into Neil from Nurphy at an event. He was telling us about his application Nurphy. At first you might think yet another start-up, although actually it’s truly a fantastic app see what New York Times and Read Write Web are saying.

So what does it do?

The application is puts your conversation in a simple readable format. Let me explain: When you are sending a typical email. You might write multiple questions, the responder then quotes your response and replies. Its messy and fairly time consuming. Another scenario is where you are twittering a question and all your pals reply via @username. If you are smart enough you will be using a tools like Tweetdeck, if so you still need to sieve through each response to see if they are replying to your question or just making a comment.

Nurphy keeps all conversations in one place:

Just like Google Wave you can add someone at a later stage and read all the conversations you have had in the past, something you can’t do via email or twitter. You can also Fork a conversation i.e. branch your conversation which needs further discussion.

Nurphy also has good privacy features and best of all its simple, the founders have followed KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) to the letter.

5 Reasons why you should be supporting Nurphy

  • Nurphy is a simple tool which can really help increase your business productivity.
  • It allows you to have control over your conversations and make it easy to track them.
  • Nurphy is founded by two entrepreneurs who are bootstrapping the build and have done a fantastic job at it.
  • The app has been covered in New York Times and Read Write Web, shows the credibility of the app and founders.
  • I think it’s a fine example of European ingenuity where it’s about being creative and thinking logically.

  • Thanks Neil. All the best with Nurphy!
  • Thanks @rajanand. The point about KISS is interesting; we really want to keep Nurphy focused on conversations, to make conversations (and the privacy settings) fun, and to launch features that just wouldn't work in email and other conversational tools ('forking' being one example).

    The recently acquired EtherPad was a great example of how real-time collaboration could be kept separate from conversation (and it was a better tool for it).
