Twitter is a so-called “micro-blogging” site that many people use to exchange messages with their friends, but Twitter can also be used for business. You can now get Twitter notifications for Monitis and Mon.itor.us monitoring services. Follow Monitis Twitter page; add your Twitter account to the contacts for Monitis and/or mon.itor.us, and you will be able to get free Monitis alert notification notifications through your Twitter account (make sure you added your phone number to your Twitter account).

Remember: Twitter sends texts to US mobile phone numbers only. Also bear in mind that it won’t guarantee delivery for messages; and due to recent outages on Twitter, we suggest using Monitis’s SMS notifications, or both for business critical applications. Also, using these rules, you may establish rules when it transmits the first notification to Twitter, and on the next subsequent NOK, use Monitis direct SMS notification. Thus, you might save SMS in the event of short term outages but still see guaranteed deliveries in the event of continuing problems. You’ll also obtain Monitis pre-announcements via Twitter long before we send out press releases to the public.
