We’re very happy to finally announce the acquisition of Feedcrier.com, the leading provider of IM based feed alerts. This one has been in the making for some time now, and we officially welcome Adam Kalsey and the Feedcrier community to IMified.

Through this acquisition, IMified will make use of Feedcrier’s rock solid bot platform and super-fast feed alerting technology to offer a complete IM based solution for interacting with web services and presence based alerting. While we’re still working out our integration strategy, I can tell you that we’ve got some really cool features coming down the road. Besides the obvious ability for users to subscribe to real-time feed alerts, developers will be able to use our new API to push alerts to widget subscribers. With this new alert platform, we plan on offering presence-based alerts that will have the option of being forwarded to your mobile phone via sms. Speaking of mobile phones, we’re working on HTTP enabling your IMified menu so you can interact with IMified on your mobile browser.

We hope to have the two services integrated very soon and are working on a relaunch that will include interface updates and enhanced stability, along with the features mentioned above. Current Feedcrier users should visit the Feedcrier blog for specific details on the acquisition.

Thank you all for your continued support and feedback!
