It worked like a charm on the Joost bet (yeah, I got back in for a quick +2% on a meager bet). Any idea when SMS alerts may happen? At least with SMS, I do not have to poll email to be notified as periodic email polling on my phone is a major battery hog.</p> Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:23:41 -0700 David Kuan comment 5953 at http://www.thestandard.com http://www.thestandard.com/blog/tis-prediction-market/new-e-mail-alerts-closed-judged-predictions <!--paging_filter--><p>Today we rolled out a new E-mail alert so that when a prediction is judged on the site, players that had open bets with the prediction that was judged will be notified.  </p> <p>For example, let's say I had bet S$10,000 on the <a href="/predictions/dow-jones-index-dips-below-10-000-2009">Dow Jones Index prediction</a>.   Then, something occurred in the market that triggered an early judgment, but I was away from the site that day.  I would then receive an E-mail within a ten minute timeframe of the judgment letting me know that the prediction had been decided.  If I'm curious as to how I performed, I can go to the site to learn the results by clicking a handy link in the E-mail. </p> <p>If, for some reason, I didn't want this type of E-mail alert, I could always go to my notifications screen and disable the service.  We plan on making a mobile version of the same alert in the very near future.</p> http://www.thestandard.com/blog/tis-prediction-market/new-e-mail-alerts-closed-judged-predictions#comments TIS Prediction Market Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:17:01 -0700 Eric Hill 115685 at http://www.thestandard.com
