So one could argue that I have become a technology junkie, a slave to my mobile phone. I would argue that this is a case where technology actually benefits me and makes my life more productive and happy (unlike blogger.com which just rips up huge junks of my day while I post meaningless drivel and read that of other bloggers for my own entertainment.) In this case Scoremobile will actually notify me in advance of my favorite sports teams playing a game and let me know when someone scores in the aforementioned game. If you are not sports fans this may not seem significant, but for me I no longer have to spend any time at all wondering when my teams play or checking scores. My phone makes a cool lightsaber sound (I know, that was redundant, lightsaber sounds are cool by definition), and when I look it tells me that the Canucks game starts in 15 minutes. If I am near a TV (I am), and not doing anything else (I'm not), I can turn on the game. If the answer to my questions are (I'm not or I am, respectively), I can still find out what is happening with almost no effort on my part. This is a good thing.
Anyway, the push feeds weren't working (see title). Amazingly, I actually got a notification from Scoremobile that they were working to fix the problem, instead of the usual "treat them like mushrooms" philosophies that most software and web companies seem to adopt. Today it is working again. Just got the aforementioned Canucks notification.
