Verdict Notification

[The Farm]

If you don't want to give out your email to a news organization...

But you want to be notified when the verdict comes in...

WebSleuths can create a Verdict Notification Topic...

And CLOSE/LOCK the topic when the jury begins deliberations.

Members should SUBCRIBE to that topic -- click on THREAD TOOLS above

And select INSTANT NOTIFICATION BY EMAIL in the drop down box.


When the verdict comes in, an Admin or Moderator can REPLY to that locked/closed topic -- perhaps 2 replies spaced by a few minutes -- while keeping the topic locked. Otherwise, hundreds of notification emails per member could go out.

The reply(s) in that thread will generate instant email notifications to all who are subscribed.

Just a thought.

I think I was just able to do it, thanks!

Vinnie Politan pimps his Twitter account every evening for just this purpose.
He says that even if you are at a bbq when the verdict comes in, he'll make sure you know first, lol.

I dumped Vinnie's tweets as he was spamming me with too much useless crap like "what color shirt should I buy", etc.

Went with Orlando that limits to 3 a day.

Thanks! I swore I would never join anyones Twitter account but I had to join Vinnie's. I didn't get one ounce of sleep last night waiting for the closing statements and I was not about to go through another sleepless night. I have falled asleep at my computer 4 times today!!
Now, let's just hope I hear my TWEET!

Twitter doesn't email or txt you when people tweet right? I thought they stopped sms notifications? I'm not going to sit and hit refresh every 5 mins on Vinnie's twitter unless someone knows how to setup notifications?

Does anyone know if any of the news organizations have some sort of notification text or something that we can get when the jury is back with a verdict?

In Session's Vinnie Politan on CNN news will tweet on his twitter when verdict comes in.

My smartphone became a dumbphone paperweight and my replacement phone won't be here until tomorrow. I have to take care of biz tomorrow, regardless of trial. Bad timing.

You can sign up for text notifications from people on twitter, just go to their profile and click the cell phone icon, it asks you to send a text to a number with a word to verify it's your cell number and you choose who to get text notifications from.

Use the Orlando Sentinel Text (Mobile) Verdict Alert....(no useless texts). They send no more than 3 text alerts per day regarding the trial.

Also...very simple to cancel the text alerts...all you do is reply with STOP.
