Asynchronous task

Wrap call or code with Meteor.defer() (same as Meteor.setTimeout()with value of 0) to allow the method to continue executing without waiting for the task to fully complete.

Meteor.defer(function(){
    Email.send({
      from: "hello@todoapp.com",
      to: follower,
      subject: "New todo added",
      text: "here's the todo item: " + title
    });
});
