Blo.gs by email and IM

Sign up/in to blo.gs, and on the settings page you can choose to be notified of updates to your favorites by email or AOL or Yahoo IM. Sweet!

(Would that be the soft launch you had in mind, Jim?)

Hmmm if I can get notices though AIM, then I can get that on the cell phone too….

I need my own blog now

What is the point in all this whizz bang tools to notify the world or share data when 90% of the content is crap.

Perhaps focusing on content over sharing it / making it appear on your dogs-friends-sister’s mobile phone when she doesnt know who you are could result in people reading it by their own accord than pushing them…

Just a thought.

actually, the updates via email have been there from the beginning. it’s the updates via im that are new.

Bit of a shotgun to make sure I caught it: I thought maybe the email wasn’t new, but it wouldn’t have appealed to me enough to notice. IM, on the other hand, perfectly suits my impatient nature.

r: welcome to the world, little troll. Sturgeon’s Law applies everywhere, across the board, no exceptions. The secret of life is finding ways to minimize your exposure to the 90%, and not miss any of the 10% you don’t have to. I have no interest in pushing anything, anywhere. What I want is to know when my friends have something to say, and because there are so few of them, with so little time, I’m always eager for the next bit, so I want to know now.
