MessageCast is beta testing an interesting service for bloggers called LiveMessage. It’s a subscription service that allows people using MSN Messenger to receive toaster-style alert messages whenever your blog is updated.
If you use MSN Messenger and would like to check it out, click the bright orange “LiveMessage Alert” button near the bottom of link column on this page. You can also sign-up yourself at www.livemessage.net (it’s free). Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think.
I couldn’t get the service to work – it wouldn’t take either of my XML feeds. 🙁

What’s the URL of your XML feed? What blogging system are you using? I’m using Movable Type and it worked perfectly the first time.
