Update...LiveMessage alerts DO work correctly on MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta

I have been testing the live alerts so that when I post a message to my blog people get notified. I had thought that hasn't been working correctly with MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta. I was wrong. The alerts seem to come through correctly (as you will see if you subscribe). I will be working on this to make it a little smoother - if it works well you won't have to visit my site very often, just when I post something of interest to you! I will endeavour to make the titles informative... honest.

Alert subscription goes up by 100% in under 10 minutes

This is the world's fastest alert uptake. I can't believe it... I have gone from 1 user to 2 users in a matter of minutes!

Messenger Alerts! You can always know when Jim is in the house...

I had started to see people publishing alerts from their blogs and wondered how. Well, here's what I did... I went to MessageCast Inc. and saw that they are offering free message alerts for bloggers. This is great. I think alerts and subscription to alerts for blogs is one of the best ways to know when something has been updated without having to proactively vist the blog or use an RSS Reader.

Good Blog Job.
