Secure Communications App Reline Opens Registration For Beta Testers

At AngelHack Jakarta, a number of teams produced quite a few solid product prototypes but none incited more debate than Reline, an app that facilitates secure communications for mobile devices.

Bistip.com Gets More Positive Response and Keep Improving Its Features

Do you still remember BisTip.com? This web-based courier service that provides facilities for those who wish to entrust their items or have items entrusted to them for delivery purposes for a fee, keeps improving and got many positive response.

Based on my simple observation, at least from my Twitter account timeline, several friends who didn’t know or were not interested in using this service start to use or introduce this service on their timeline. Some of my friends are quite active on Twitter, they might be influencers for other users.

It seems that now BisTip starts to be broadly recognized and keep getting positive response. One of their “product” is the Bistipes which is the figure of the BisTip brand to whom you can entrust your item for free, is an interesting facility for the new users.

Usually users can get money from the boarding out service (based on the deal), with Bistipes, people can get free of charge service.

Sepertinya kini BisTip mulai dikenal dengan lebih luas dan terus mendapatkan respon positif. Salah satu ‘produk’ mereka Bistipes, yang merupakan tokoh dari brand BisTip yang bisa dititipkan barang secara gratis, juga menjadi salah satu fasilitas yang menarik pengguna baru.
