The AIM Blog Change Bot service provided by Ben Hoskins is no more. I noticed it hadn't been working for a while and emailed and asked Ben if it was still running. Ben provided the following response:

Hi, Not anymore. Once the numbers became high enough, AOL weren't happy with the service and I could not get it 'authorized' by anyone at AOL. Sorry, Ben

I have added MSN Alerts service for messenger, mobile or hotmail accounts. (Public info, Blog sing-up.) Of course, Microsoft couldn't see fit to provide a standard rectangular 80x15 button, so I had to alter their 71x17 oval default button. After signing up to provide the MSN Alert service on my blog, I noticed there was no way to go back into the system and make any changes to the information I had provided. I responded back to the "Getting Started" email I received from Microsoft and got a same-day response which stated:

Hello Don, In the near future we will implement a Microsoft Passport login to the administration page. Access to the administration page will not be granted until the implementation of the Passport authentication is complete. In the meantime please feel free to contact either myself or bizdesk@microsoft.com for any modification requests you may have. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks. - Jim

As far as I can tell, the Passport login hasn't yet been implemented, so just be careful to not to make any mistakes if you sign up.
