Follow your favorite blogs and websites on your IM

Hi Guys,

If you are like us, you too probably would be following your favorite blogs and sites via some RSS reader or the other, and tend to invariably miss various updates or get them a bit too late. Ever thought it would be nice to get latest updates about your favorite blogs like TechCrunch and ReadWriteWeb served hot to you, as they happen ? If yes, you are in for a treat

We’ve just released the RSS and Atom integration for kwippy.

What it means ?
It means that now you can follow your favorite blogs and websites on your IM(gtalk for now). So every time there’s a new post on the blog you are following, you’ll be notified on your gtalk.

How it works?
To get IM notifications about blog and website updates, you need to follow the blog/website and ensure that you’ve turned on the IM notification option for that blog(under the change settings link on their kwips page)

How to integrate RSS and Atom feeds ?
We have integrated these blogs to start with
1) TechCrunch: http://www.kwippy.com/TechCrunchRSS
2) ReadWriteWeb: http://www.kwippy.com/ReadWriteWebRSS
3) GigaOm: http://www.kwippy.com/GigaOmRSS
4) Makeuseof: http://www.kwippy.com/MakeuseofRSS/

New Additions
5) Scobleizer: http://www.kwippy.com/scobleizerRSS/
6) 37Signals: http://www.kwippy.com/37signalsRSS
7) Dilbert: http://www.kwippy.com/DailyDilbertRSS

If you want to add more blogs that you would like to follow. Please let us know.

Play with and let us know what you think of it.

Happy Kwipping !!
