New Entry Alerts Status: Fix Install Pending, 7/28, 4AM ET

Hi all -- here's an update on the New Entry Alerts, which stopped being delivered after the Journals team pushed the R7 Release to production this morning: Journals Technical Project Manager Yoel just reported that the fix has been built and will be installed tomorrow morning, Friday, 7/28, at 4AM ET.

When it comes to being notified about new entries, AOL Journals and Journalers are a little different from other bloggers, in that we rely pretty heavily on New Entry Alerts. This is because Alerts are so conveniently integrated into Journals. Depending on what platform other bloggers use, they typically have to either find a third-party new entry notification service, or just use watch the feeds in their feedreaders.

For people who read lots and lots of blogs on a regular basis, using a feedreader may be a faster way to keep tabs on new entries. However, it's nice to be able to have a choice of delivery options.

We'll get that fix in. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks -- Joe
