Notifixious
Published by David Potter on Oct.01, 2008
I just learned about a service from Weblog Tools Collection called Notifixious for allowing visitors to be notified via IM, email, or SMS when a new post is published to a blog. This is a pretty slick tool that is easy to add to a WordPress blog and really simplifies these kinds of notifications. The plugin provides a widget that can be added to a sidebar which allows the visitor to select how they want to be notified. Clicking the Follow button sends them to the Notifixious web site to confirm their subscription. I’ve added it to a couple of my sites. We’ll see how well it works.

Hopefully, it’ll work pretty well! Anyway, feel free to make any comment and suggestion so that we can improve our service!

@Julien: Thanks. I probably haven’t been diligent enough about testing it - sorry about that. I haven’t yet received the confirmation email from the Notifixious web site.
Also, when the plugin is enabled it causes my site to fail the XHTML validator at http://validator.w3.org/. Here’s the error I get:
It would be helpful if you could fix this. Thanks for your work on the plugin.
