Google Alerts

Posted Apr 24, 2006 by David Risley  

If you have ever missed important information because you had not searched the Web for a couple of days, you will greatly appreciate this Google Alerts. Go to [http://www.google.com/alerts] and log in. Then choose a search string or a topic that you want to be notified about if new stuff appears in the search results for this string and topic. For instance, I have several topics that I regularly monitor the Web about and it is really valuable when I get results delivered right to my mailbox, rather than perform searches manually and wonder if a particular entry is a new one or not.

Google Alerts

Posted Mar 31, 2005 by David Risley  

Google has a cool little tool which can bring search results on news right to your inbox: Google Alerts. The service is totally free and it it works on both web searches and news searches. But, lets say you are simply interested in a particular topic or maybe you run a website on a particular niche topic and you want to be aware right away of any new news on your topic. Go to Google Alerts and enter your search terms, the type of search, the interval you want your emails and your email address. Then, sit back and get their emails with your search results.

This is very convenient for people who need this kind of instantaneous information. Go to http://www.google.com/alerts?hl=en to set it up.
