As a simple implementation of this new feature, I've built a webhook processor over on my site <a href="http://qwiktxt.com/webhook/">QwikTxt.com</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://qwiktxt.com/webhook/">My webhook processor</a> sends an SMS message to a registered user on my site any time that user's webhook gets called via a comment post on his/her WordPress.com site. My script at QwikTxt.com receives the data from the WordPress.com webhook, retrieves the user's cell phone data entered in their QwikTxt.com profile and sends a comment notification text message to that user.</p> <p><a href="http://qwiktxt.com">QwikTxt.com</a> is itself a WordPress.org powered site and a good example of extending WordPress beyond typical blogging applications. </p>
