Google Alerts - Anyone testing it yet?
I just noticed the 'Google Alerts' - just wondering how many of you have tried it or have been using it - any good? Any hidden benefits?

I've been using the Google news alerts for a while now for celebrity news. Seems this is an expansion of that service to include not only news but other web content.
It works great in gmail because the alerts are stored in threads so if you don't get a chance to read them they are at leased grouped by keyword/s for easier viewing. |
