Notifu is a website designed to allow you to contact individuals or groups of people quickly. The site allows you to see if your message was received and gather all of the responses from your recipients so you can make quick decisions.

Notifu can contact people via email, SMS message, phone call, AIM, Gtalk, ICQ, MSN IM, or Yahoo IM. So, if the person you’re trying to contact is near any of those mediums you can get a message to them. You can set up a particular contact to first be contacted one way and if you don’t get them that way contacted another. For instance you could decide to first email your friend Bob, and if he doesn’t get your email then you could send him an ICQ message, a text, or a phone call.

Notifu allows you to track the delivery of your messages, so if you’re dealing with a large group you can easily see whom you haven’t heard back from yet. For things like moving a dinner party of meeting it can be great to see immediately who might be left out.

The idea behind the site is actually pretty cool. I tend to be the ringleader in organizing events for my groups of friends, it would be nice to be able to send just one message to everyone, and be able to see what everyone thinks without having to constantly make phone calls and send out additional emails.

With Notifu for example, I could send out a message to a huge group with three options for dinner and then everyone could respond with a preference, highest number of votes in the group wins. I could then send out another message to the same group of people and say “Mexican at 8″ rather than making two phone calls (or emails) or more person to make plans.
