If you want a pullsystem today, pick a random forum product
like phpBB, ultraboard and many others, post a message to the
forum and have the forum send out a notification that there is
a new message. Use it for a while and one will notice that it
is not handy and there is still a message to be delivered only
now it only contains "get your spam here" instead of the direct
link along with the content :)

Greets,
