Answer 1

A site that lets you essentially post exceptions to it, and then you can configure message in a number of ways. I've not had a chance to use this much yet. I think it's more popular w/ ruby, but because it's using standard HTTP posts, you should be able to use it from anything. http://www.getexceptional.com/

For something more .net-specific, check out: http://code.google.com/p/elmah/ This will save a ton of information locally, and there is then a handler that exposes the data as an RSS feed. From there, you should be able to find numerous ways to consume it. This one I've used to great effect.
