Most of the recent twitter alerts were sent by LGLHooker and some by myself. We would like to see more alerts by other people, so I am sharing this information.
You can quickly send alerts from your web-enabled phone or wireless device.
1. Your device needs to have a default email set up. I use YahooMail.
2. In your phone (device) create a new contact. I call mine Aalert.
It always shows up at the top of the contacts list because of the two A's.
3. For Aalert, I have one email: utalerts800@... (you know the rest).
4. When the action happens, I grab my phone, and select:
Messaging>Contacts>Aalert> The YahooMail Compose screen comes up.
The Twitter alerts address is already in the TO field. I scroll down to the message body and type in the brief alert text and send.
5. My phone shows a message that there are errors in my message. I ignore that. There is nothing wrong with the message.
6. The alert usually shows up on my phone within 15 seconds.
I can usually email an alert and receive it in less than one minute. LGL Hooker and myself hope that others will find this useful and it will lead to more frequent alerts.
We also want to thank UtahViper and BNeilson for their work in creating, troubleshooting, and fixing the alert system.
