I already have a GMail account and use Google calenders so I thought I would look at another Google tool like Alerts. It was really easy to create an alert and after receiving several updates via email I found that using the Comprehensive search type is difficult when you have a basic topic; so dependent on your search topic you may need to play around with what search type you use. Also, you may need to play around with your search terms to eliminate miscellaneous alerts. I feel that alerts can be a really helpful tool that everyone can use but it does need some tweaking in the set up; but really helpful once you have set it up the way you want.
