Great

I have several set up for a variety of important keywords such as Sandwich Generation, caregiver, care giving, aging parents, grand kids, grandparents, and many more. It's been one of the most useful tools in my blogging arsenal.

Yet Another Google Aspect

Nice Interview and good info. I am still pretty new to Google products. I use adsense,gmail, analytics (actually still learning that one). Sounds like I need to delve into alerts as well. Thanks for the insight.

Google Alert

I use Google Alert primarily to keep track of "certain keywords" related to my niche and it has worked quietly for me behind the scene.

Great article!

Great article thanks :) enjoyed reading it.

Google Alert Rocks!

Google Alert has definitely been fantastic for me. I subscribe to various alerts using Google Reader and find the timely and newsworthy information invaluable.

Google Alerts is better than AC Nielsen

I just want to thank Gideon for the excellent app he put out, and say that as a "buzz meter", Google Alerts works much better than expensive services such as AC Nielsen.

Google makes charging for this service an offense.

GoogleAlert and Copyscape to the Rescue

I'm an avid user of both services and they are 2 of my 'must have' services. The power behind Google Alert is somewhat under-estimated, but the more you use it the more you'll see what you've been missing all this time.

I am a great fan of Google

I am a great fan of Google and I got to know about Google alert just today. I will see how it works and am excited about it.

There is no better tool for saving time out there than Googlealert.

Google alerts can be a useful service if used properly. We can keep up to date with the latest news like how to stop panic attacks

Google It

"Google is by far the most popular search engine and provides the most relevant and up-to-date results for our users. As far as I'm aware, it's also the only general search engine with an API which provides a documented and legitimate route for building automated value-added services."

This was quoted for truth.

These two products

These two products Sightpoint and Freshsearch sounded quite interesting. But where as software sites like Copyscape have gone from strength to strength I'm not sure what has become of the other two. Perhaps not everything he works on is a success.

Of course they may have been integrated into the whole in some manner and it is just that they are not marketed independently. I am prepared to be corrected.

No doubt, "Google" is really

No doubt, "Google" is really a great company which is doing everything with a purpose. All the tools that they have developed has immense work behind it. We have to thank the group for everything. Google alert is no more an exception. They could do it only because, they experianced the problem. They are being role model to many people and helping other to excel in life.

Thanks google.. Keep it up

Copyscape / Google Alert

Both of these are great. They have really helped the web community into becoming a better place to use.

Background

What was Gideon's background? I guess it goes to show you that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

Google Alert

Google Alert and Copyscape are two indispensable tools I can't work without. Awesome interview anyway.

Google Alert

Thank you for a very interesting article. I've been using Google Alerts since I started writing my Sandwich Generation blog, SandwichINK. I have several set up for a variety of important keywords such as Sandwich Generation, caregiver, caregiving, aging parents, grandkids, grandparents, and many more. It's been one of the most useful tools in my "blogging arsenal." Too often, we take these tools for granted, assuming they just magically appeared. It's really nice to hear the "rest of the story" to find out who actually created them. Thank you for doing that, and thank you, Gideon Greenspan, for such a useful tool! :)

Google Alerts.

I've been using Google alert, but not to it's full power. Thank you. I will also start using copyscape. Maybe some of those nice sounding articles I bought were really somebody else's....

Couldn't Work Without You

I haven't had the need for GoogleAlert as of yet, but I frequently use CopyScape to monitor my writers. Never can tell when they might get lazy.

Thanks for the info, I love Google Alerts and use them all the time to keep up to date with my favourite celebs :)

Very Useful Tools

This shows that you can make your mark online if you figure a way to provide something useful and practical for web users. I didn't realize GoogleAlerts and Copyscape was developed by someone who wasn't employed by Google.

Google Alert rocks!

I can't imagine what would it be like trying to keep up with all the noise on the net without Google Alert. It's an indispensable tool indeed.

Google Is The Best

I'm using couple of google webmaster products as well. From adsense, adwords, alert, analytics and more. Now, with chrome. I read somewhere stating that they will allow plugins by this March. I guess it will be beating IE and FF soon too.

Google alert is not bad

I've been using google alert for incoming links alert for one year now. I can say it is some kind of motivation for us to do some link building and involve actively in online activities. I don't know why this post is full of unrelated comments especially from finance, loan etc. Is it so hard to make a good comment?
