Google Alerts
Google Alerts is a service offered by search engine company Google which notifies you (by email) about the latest web and news pages of your choice.
Google currently offers three types of alerts: "News", "Web", and "News &
Web". A News alert is an email that lets you know if new articles make it
into the top ten results of your Google News
search. A Web alert is an email that lets
you know if new web pages appear in the top twenty results for your Google
Web search. A News & Web alert is an email
that lets you know when new articles related to your
search term make it into the top ten
results for a Google News
search or the top twenty results for a
Google Web search.
The service can help track new pages for any topic (such as celebrities,
computers, animals). Google Alerts are available in plain text as well as
HTML.
