HazelMail in DailyCandy

PKPR placed an awesome feature on HazelMail in today’s DailyCandy. Other recent coverage includes a review in Netted and a mention on BoingBoing, the world’s third most popular blog, which led to HazelMail’s largest day of app downloads yet. Oh yeah, we also loved that ABC News named it a top Valentine’s Day gift, The Daily Telegraph named it one of the Best Travel Websites and the New York Times Style Magazine highlighted HazelMail in a round-up of iPhone apps.
