Google Alerts
Social Media Platform
Google Alerts is a notification service (by e-mail or feed) that updates users of the latest relevant Google results (Web, news, etc.) based on their choice of query or topic, in plain text or HTML.
Google currently offers six types of alert searches: "News", "Web", "Blogs", "Comprehensive", "Video" and "Groups".
A News alert is an e-mail that lets the user know if new articles make it into the top ten results of his/her Google News search. A Web alert is an e-mail that lets the user know if new Web pages appear in the top twenty results for his/her Google Web search. A News & Web alert is an e-mail that lets the user know when new articles related to his/her search term make it into the top ten results for a Google News search or the top twenty results for a Google Web search. A Groups alert is an e-mail that lets the user know if new posts make it into the top fifty results of his/her Google Groups search.
