* the gottaDo name
We started by aiming to produce a simple, easy to use GTD app which ended up leading to the name we have now, gottaDo. Use our bit of technology to enrich your life. The concept:
Getting Things Done
* Viral marketing via Facebook
Until recently the the marketing of apps was a real problem. This service is built on the basis that the more facebook friends join in, the more successful it is.
gottaDo naturally encourages the user to invite their friends to join in. This is what we call viral marketing whereas conventional methods were email and mail magazines. Traditional methods strong literary ability.
Using Facebook, we can achieve better results with just a few clicks. We have built in strong viral functionality into gottaDo for just this purpose.
