IFTTT + Pushbullet is a great way to go too. Whenever there is a new story I receive a notification with a link on both my Android phone and Chrome on my desktop.
Edit: The recipe: https://ifttt.com/recipes/184678-more-airz23-goodness (You will need to install Pushbullet on your devices/desktop browser and you may need to activate the Pushbullet channel on IFTTT.)
No, totally not!
It's based on "if this, then that" (that's what IFTTT stands for) but it can do alot more than send you texts. I'd check out the most popular recepies to start and get an idea of what can be done :)
Just a suggestion: Get IFTTT and search for airz23. There are loads of scripts that will send you an email as soon as airz posts, so you'll know very soon and won't have to keep checking.
It's a fairly generic service, which makes it hard to explain.
Basically, there's a big collection of triggers, which is the "if this" part. Triggers can be e-mails, RSS feeds, Dropbox uploads, your cell phone changing location, you name it. When one of those happens, it triggers.
Then there's a big collection of actions, which is the "then that" part. Actions are stuff that the service will do. Actions can be sending e-mails, making phone calls, sending text messages, posting to Twitter, uploading files to Dropbox, etc. etc.
An IFTTT recipe is an arbitrary combination of a trigger and an action. You can set it up to send you a text, but you can also set it up to, say, turn your lights on in your house (with the right equipment) or add a row to a Google Docs spreadsheet.
For a better idea of what it can do, check out the list of channels:
Each channel has triggers, actions, or both. If you click on one, it'll show you what's available in each. The Reddit channel, for example, has triggers for new posts of various kinds and other such actions, and has actions for submitting new posts.

ok clearly I've never actually read them before. I have someone who has been bugging me to backup her contacts.... this looks like it'll do it
bah.. it's not android.. but now i know to look for it.
You could just use a VPN. It'd provide protection against just about anyone trying to find you.
I recommend Private Internet Access-- they have exit gateways all over the world, so you can continue to elude the people who're trying to figure out where you are.
