I've been working on a web application, EVE Alerter, and am needing some additional beta users. Its aims are to allow for corporations/alliances/groups to easily push out very short messages to their members over a variety of out-of-game mediums (Email, SMS, AIM, GTalk, MSN, etc). Since we can't be logged in and paying attention to EVE 100% of the time, this is a great way to rally people for ops, or let members know of upcoming planned (or un-planned) events.

EVE Alerter has reached the point where it has been in stable use for our corporation, so I'd like to rope in a few more corps/alliances/whoever to use/test/provide feedback.

How it works:

1. User signs up to your alerter ({yoursubdomain}.evealerter.com) with their API keys.
2. User subscribes to the various topics (that your corp/alliance/group creates) that interest them. IE: CTAs, Roams, Emergencies, Mining (these are configurable).
3. User may elect to receive notifications over a variety of mediums on a per-topic basis (currently only email and SMS, but eventually GTalk/AIM/ICQ, etc.).
4. Anyone with broadcasting permissions may send messages over the topics, which are received by all subscribers.

Other notes:

• Access is limited by API Key, based on which corps/alliances you elect to allow.
• Your alerter need not be accessible to just your corporation. You can arbitrarily add other characters, corps, and alliances to the alerter's access rules.

Current common uses:

• By corps to notify users of un-planned, or upcoming planned roams/ops.
• By alliances to broadcast for emergency CTAs.
• By corps/alliances/groups to remind of upcoming events.

If you are interested, send me an EVE Mail and I can get you set up. The price sits at 0 iskies for beta testers.
