Is there an online archive that I can view before signing up?

I just released this, so unfortunately I don't have an archive (yet).

However, you can view a fully filled example here: http://websecweekly.org/static/newsletters/example.html

Thanks!

I really love the idea of the HipChat notifications! It puts this stuff in a place where my coworkers and I can then easily have discussions about the things posted.

I just added a notification token, should I have gotten anything in the room by now? If not, I'd suggest a really simple welcome message, just so I know it worked.

Ah! Good idea! I'll implement it now :)

The HipChat notifications go off at a fixed time (9AM and 9PM UTC) every day, however in the future I may add a feature to let people set the time the bot posts.
