Members of Alloway Library's Emergency Response Team can now stay up-to-date with news and information related to disaster recovery efforts using a neat little application called Bloglet.
A subscription service, Bloglet keeps track of the ALERTnews blog and then sends an email to a subscriber's email accounts if anything new has been posted to ALERTnews in the past 24 hours.
Combining Bloglet, ALERTnews and a personal email account means that even if a disaster affected TWU's computer servers, Library staff can still stay up-to-date with recovery efforts by reading ALERTnews on Blogger and watching for updates sent to a non-twu account, such as Hotmail, Shaw or Telus email.

Yes the analogy between Ipac and Staff pac is useful.
If the blog remains inactive,it would be terminated, but Blogger would give us fair warning beforehand. The DP committee plans to post to ALERTnews from time to time to keep the blog from going dormant.
I've changed a setting so that ALERTnews is not hidden in Blogger. It may be a while before Google notices us.
