Get Instant RSS Feed Alerts On Your IM
Are you tired of checking your RSS feeds frequently to find the updates? It would be a frustrated experience when we check and found nothing new on the subscription. Would not it be interesting to get alerts on each and every updates? that too via IM? Cool na.. Yeah IM Feeds provides this useful service.
IM Feeds
Similar to the real-time news tracker Anothr, IM Feeds allows users to get RSS alerts sent via instant messengers. To get start started, simply add any of the corresponding IM Feed bots to your instant messaging program of choice.
Supported IM Networks
AIM
MSN
Yahoo
Google Talk
Send the bot a message with “join” and from there you’ll be presented with a link to register your account. It’s as simple as that. To add feeds, you can send a message to the bot using the ’sub’ command or go through your web account with IM Feeds. You can upload an OPML file or enter the full url of each RSS subscription you’d like to subscribe to.
If you’re managing your IM Feeds account on the web, your subscriptions will show up in a sidebar with a link to each. On the left, you’ll be presented with a list of links to each of the latest updates from your subscriptions. Subscriptions are listed in order by site instead of by date and time, which is a bit unusual for an RSS feed manager. The user interface for the service is nice, simple, and clean with little to no distractions. Even the technologically challenged can set up an account and manage their feeds through the web interface without any help.
