Google Alerts

I was reading Scott Adams blog which by the way terrific. Anyway he was talking about technology that he thought was too fricken cool-an example of this type of technology given was Google Alerts. Here's what he had to say about it;
"...Google Alerts. It sends me an e-mail any time my keywords newly appear on the Internet. My keywords are “Scott Adams Dilbert.” Now, I usually have my Blackberry 8700 in my pocket. So check this out…

Any time that 11-year old Vijay sits at his Dad’s computer in Lucknow, India, and blogs about his favorite Dilbert comic, Google finds it, and sends that link directly to my left front pocket. I reach in, pull out the Blackberry, click the link, and Vijay’s blog opens. I read it, just to see what little Vijay thinks of me today...."

I decided to do a little test and see if Google alerts could find my humble blog. So I just signed up with Google Alerts and added Scott Adams to my list of key words, now I'm not 11, or living in India however I am blogging about Scott Adams, so I am hoping that some time in the near future I will get an email telling me that somebody just made a blog entry about Mr. Adam's that would make my day. I will return tomorrow with the results of my experment.
