October 24th, 2008 by Ronen Halevy
While browsing the mobile.blackberry.com website I came across the first released Web Signals we told you about before. These Web Signals are essentially push alerts pushed by certain websites to your BlackBerry when you subscribe.
So far we have:
- NYTimes.com Bits Blog Notifier – Learn about news & analysis as it happens with NYTimes.com Bits Blog Notifier. With news & analysis on the tech industry through the day from NY Times writers & freelancers.
- Accuweather.com – Get free constantly updated forecasts pushed to your BlackBerry smartphone. View radar, 10-day & hourly forecasts & severe weather alerts.
- Reuters News Web Signals – Get breaking news with Reuters Web Signals on your BlackBerry smartphone. As news breaks, the Reuters icon changes & sends you to the story.
- FOX News Alert – Be the first to know when news breaks. Download FOX News Alert & get instant alerts to breaking news directly on your BlackBerry Smartphone®.
- CBC – Receive the day’s top headlines and breaking news with the innovative CBC web signal for BlackBerry smartphones
- Thumbplay Web Signal - Get content releases from Thumbplay. The Thumbplay icon sends you to BlackBerry compatible content like music, ringtones, games, videos & more.

They will start at the same time you subscribed…tomorrow.
