In light of my Texty review which can be read here, Texty representatives have actually stopped by and left some important feedback regarding my take on the service and for that, I thank them. Texty has reiterated the fact that their service serves the needs of small web publishers as well as the personal site owner. As you may recall, I brought up the fact that because you need to use a line of javascript code in place of text, that Google and other search engine spiders would not be able to crawl the text found within your Texty, as they would only see a line of javascript code. Texty has informed me that they are working with Google on a new method of indexing to insure that their users Texty content is indexed.
Near the end of my review, I mentioned the fact that this company may not be around forever, so those of you who use this service, should only place content you wouldn’t mind losing into your Textys. Texty has stated that:
I can assure you that the company is built to survive – and that there should not be any issue of the company disappearing and content no longer loading!
Thats fine, but until Texty provides a way for users to back up their Textys or at least the content within their Textys, this should at least be a thought that is placed in the back of your mind.
I also wanted to say that I am relieved to see that I am not the only one who is confused with the Texty account creation process. Looking at their help page today, I noticed an individual who had a similar experience and in the end, was just down right confused as to how to create an account. I really think you Texty should either include step by step instructions, or completely change the way users create accounts.
If Texty fixes these outlying problems, I think their service may be on to something.
