Receive an AOL IM when new deals are posted on the front page

Send this IM to AOL IM user name blogchangebot:

Code:

subscribe www.cheapassgamer.com

Now you will receive an IM whenever a new deal appears on the front page. If you are offline, you will receive an IM when you log on to AOL IM. If multiple new deals are posted, you will still only receive one IM.

If you want to unsubscribe just send this IM to blogchangebot:

Code:

unsubscribe www.cheapassgamer.com

Note: there seems to be about a 15 minute delay from when a deal is posted, to when you recieve the IM. I'll see if I can shorten the delay.

*Thanks to http://www.neuronwave.com/bcb/ for this cool service*

w0rd! I'm signed up! Great idea! Thanks, CheapyD!

I don't have AOL Instant Messanger, but I have AOL and I can IM. It wouldn't let me sign up since I don't have Instant Messanger, so can you add TJordan522 (my AOL s/n) to the list for me? Thanks!

Great idea CheapyD. Too bad I am not online enough to take advantage of it.

**CheapyD** · 09-21-2003, 07:57 PM

I'm working on daily email notifications too...

Hmmm...is anyone else not receiving their AOL IMs?
Something seems to be not working properly.

BigDirty · 09-25-2003, 04:16 PM

I got one, the first day it was announced, but none since....

Something ain't right with that boy......

**CheapyD** · 09-29-2003, 01:37 PM

Still trying to figure out whats wrong...

**CheapyD** · 10-01-2003, 12:04 PM

I just got a notification...so perhaps things are now functioning properly.

Hopefully, daily emails will be ready to be up and running by tomorrow.

Back working for me

BigDirty · 10-03-2003, 12:09 PM

Looks to be back on the fritz.... new deals posted and no updates sent, and it usually sends them within 5 minutes to an hour

<EDIT>
Somewhat back working, got 1 of the 3 new changes updated

**CheapyD** · 10-03-2003, 12:40 PM

Yeah, sometimes when I post a new deal, the ping doesn't go through properly.
I've just discovered a way to ping manually, so I think we should be all set going forward.

and its looking to be flaky again......

I didn't get the lik-sang, and I don't remember getting the Hitz one, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, its crapping out again...well, hopefully it will be 100% at some point, because its really a cool idea.
I'll send its creator an email and see whats up.

BigDirty · 10-16-2003, 02:34 PM

It was up and working again, and it has crapped out over the past 2 days again.

**CheapyD** · 10-16-2003, 03:27 PM

Ya, I know.
Apparantly its a quality of service problem with AOL according to the software developer.

I got bigger problems now:
