Yahoo! Alert service integrates RSS to its alert notification data sources
Russell Beattie has a great post about Yahoo!’s new RSS integration to its Alert service and how the technology can be used for many different types of applications and services.
” Yahoo! just enabled every blog and news service in the world to update 200 million American mobile consumers instantly. Every feed, from any source online is now a potential mobile alert service, instantly notifying readers, customers and users of any updates, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week anywhere they happen to be. “
” … This isn’t meant as a mobile news reader! Use My Yahoo! Mobile, Bloglines Mobile or one of the various mobile news reader Java clients out there instead. This is a mobile alert service tied to an open information syndication standard. You only sign up for things that you think are important for you to know about immediately, anywhere you happen to be.”
