Another problem with Google Alerts: if I want to have them come up the moment they happen, I tend to get a lot of emails because the same story will get picked up all over the web. For example, today there was a sneak shot of the Nexus Prime (well, about 1/5th of it), and it showed up on a half dozen news sites and blogs.

Oh well, it's fine for now, and I'm actually very impressed with now well it works.
