Google Alerts (BETA)
Coolest. Thing. Ever.
Today, I stumbled upon the Google Alerts feature on, um, Google.
When I worked for Robin Quivers back in the Ice Ages, she belonged to a newspaper clipping service that would somehow find every mention of anything and everything Stern related in just about every paper across the country. How they did that I have no idea. And every few weeks we'd get a giant envelope full of highlighted & clipped newspaper articles which matched her search criteria.
Google Alerts is the next best thing. Check it out if you haven't already. I believe the feature is like 4 or 5 years old already. I'd been living in a cave.
The service will automatically email you the Google results of your search terms.
You can set the frequency of the sending of emails to “once an hour”, “once a day,” “once a week,” and so on and so forth.
The service currently offer alerts with results (keywords you input when searching) from News, Web, Blogs, and Groups.
