Fantastic, thanks John!

Yeah we seem to have a problem with the Disqus comments. Weird because i use it on my personal blog with no trouble at all. It's kind of a shame to see 0 comments when in fact there are 8.

Aimee,

Take a look if you like: http://addresswatcher.com/signup (no OpenID support, I'm afraid!)

BTW, each blog entry page on this site says "No comments"--you might want to investigate at some point...

Thanks John! We had a great time building the application. Just a bit of fun. We enjoy using Rails. Your application sounds very useful.

Haha, i also had an application that used Twitter for free text messages. Shame they put a stop to that, hey! Maybe they'll make a deal with the UK phone companies soon.

Very cool! Thanks for taking the time to write it up too.

I built a Rails app during a few hours here and there during a fortnight for monitoring the HTTP status of a set of URLs I'm interested in (I know there are apps out there that do this, but it was fun!) For example, you can specify that you're expecting an HTTP 200 for a URL and then if you get something else the app will email or SMS you a notification.

You're right about there being a lot you can do with Twitter. My app used a Twitter account as a way of sending text messages for free. Until they stopped that within the UK! :-(

There is so much you can do with Twitter … way above and beyond what the founders originally conceived, i am sure! Have fun!

Excellent! You should definitely try out Twitter – it's quite fun when you get into it! :)

Nice job, I like what you two have done an enhancement that makes me interest to make a twitter account.
