Notify.me pings you when your feeds are fresh
Notify.me is your content in real time. That means you can sign up for different feeds, and choose how that content is delivered to you. It’s not passive feed reading. You are getting direct notifications of any content you choose.
Imagine that you want to be the first person to comment on your favorite blog. Notify.me can send you an SMS text message each time a new post is published.
Notify immediately asks for your cell phone number and tries to hook in your IM services:
It only took me a second to use Jabber to add an alert for MG Siegler and Caroline McCarthy.
Moments later:
You can use a notify.me bookmarklet to easily add services to your account.
They have partnered with Ping.fm so you can link their engine to Ping’s services. I chose to send all of my notify feeds to goto Delicious.
I haven’t played with the site much yet, but I like the sign up process. It’s intuitive and creative. They have plenty of tutorials to get you started.
Give them a try, and follow on Twitter.
