Threshold Notifications - Looking for Testers

[Gesslar]

Hi guys, I'm looking to test setting up notifications for Threshold using a system called Pushbullet (http://pushbullet.com). The app is free and there are also plugins for browsers as well as a Windows app that lives in your system tray. They don't have a Mac version yet, but apparently it's "coming soon".

For a variety of reasons, everybody should use Pushbullet anyway, but I'll save that for a blog post some day (maybe).

But for our purposes, Pushbullet has just implemented a new feature called Channels. You can subscribe to a channel and the PB system will push notifications from that channel to you.

I only need a few volunteers. If you want to try it out, just send me an email to: gesslar@frogdice.com and tell me your character name and your interest.

Not everybody who responds will get to test. I'm not even sure this will work how I want.

Thank you!

Small detail is that our RSS feed updates once every 15 minutes. If there are more than 1 pending events in the queue, they'll all get pushed at the same time the next cycle. This rarely happens, but it is not unforeseeable.

A sample of events that get pushed out are:

Changes in dominance, city dominance, clan dominance
New player signups
Hegemony appointments
Paladin appointments
AGEC announcements.

Also, I added a channel for twice-daily reminders for voting.
