 * Hey, i was wondering if some type of email notification could be put into the
   WordPress system.
    Users would put their email address on the page, then whenever
   the site is updated, they will recieve an email notification that there is new
   content on that particular site.. The admin should be able to customize the notification
   message to suit their site. Thanks!

 * This idea has a lot of potential and it’s on my list for a future version.

    I’d also like
   to have a facility for IM notifications. I have my current blog set up to send
   me a jabber message whenever a new comment is posted, with a link to the post.
   I’m hoping that eventually we can come up with a generic framework for notifications
   for new posts and comments that will allow us to plug-in new notifiers easily.

 * It would also be nice to have a “digest” option where it will only send out one
   email a day. Maybe configurable both by the administrator and the person who 
   types their email in?

 * Isn’t this exactly what RSS is for?

 * Yes, but many people still prefer email for many things.

 * Many people still prefer tables for layout too, but we don’t encourage that kind
   of behavior now do we? 😉
