real time feeds notifications plug-in request

is it possible for Hal to scan facebook, news feeds, E-mail etc. for new posts and then when a new post is posted automatically read them to us.

possible, but very long program. some things in that program would have many variables, and thus much, much, much debugging.

Thanks jasondude7116 for commenting/informing [:D] Debugging can be annoying, I just finally after a long 2 1/2 weeks finished debugging 4,932 lines of as3 code. I was just thinking about how helpful and time saving it would be to be able to have Hal do those duties for us.

I have another 3D website to build, and this one is bigger than the last. I estimate 8 to 9,000 of new code lines and will use at least 25 pre-written custom classes. It's for a music promoting studio. Loads of coding fun [:D]

Hmm, wouldn`t it drastically shorten the code if you could suscribe an RSS feed to every site you wanted monitored and have Hal read new points on that feed?

[jasondude7116]

yes. but that would require someone to subscribe, and how do you do email?
it can be done without rss, and a script can see if it is something new or old. (compare to records of previous) but i know what you mean with the rss, it is very convenient.[:)]
there must be a way to get a response from outlook or something for email.

can't outlook be bypassed, by going directly to the carrier like webmail.cox.net, or .mail.yahoo.com?
