Feed Crier: IM Notifications for feed updates
Feed Crier is a new service from Adam Kalsey that will send you an IM notification whenever RSS or Atom feeds you're subscribed to are updated. This sort of thing has been done before, of course, but Feed Crier has some features and a little polish that we haven't seen before. It only works with AIM (only temporarily, Kalsey assures us), but signing up is fast and easy. There's no form to fill out--you just send an IM to feedcrier on AIM with the keyword subscribe and the URL of the feed you want to subscribe to, and you're up and ready to go. The free version of Feed Crier lets you subscribe to up to three feeds, but paying a $4 monthly fee gives you unlimited feeds, feed summaries, a web interface for managing your feeds, and offline delivery for when you're, well, not online.[Via TechCrunch]
