IM Notification Makes Perfect Sense. Weblog Alert Service Wanted.
"Guru Scott Loftesness issues his request: Wanted: A Weblog Alert Service. Here's a request to the weblog development community.
Scott's right. As more and more weblogs come online-- and my time is getting shorter, I want a quick compact way of knowing if something new's is posted in weblogs I want to read." [Mary Wehmeier's Blog Du Jour]
Simon Fell is working on blogToaster, which seems to fit the bill. When I first read Mary Lu's post, I thought Scott was calling for a way to be notified of newly-created blogs, not newly-updated ones. I'd like to see an automatic notification that a new user can toggle on to notify the world of a birthed blog. I'm sure Dave gets immediate notice of new sites on his Radio server, but there should be something cross-tool for this.
