E-mail Alerts Services

I’ve recorded the results of my test of Google Alerts.  I wondered what similar services were available, and after doing some research, I found the following:

• Google Alerts
• Yahoo! Alerts
• notify.me
• Social Mention
• WatchThatPage
• Favebot
• TweetBeep.com
• Tweet Scan
• TweetAlarm
• Twilert

Half of them are for Twitter or other social sites.

Are there any services that I missed?

Google Alerts

I’ve been testing Google alerts the last few months using the phrase “4R x T.”  I think I’ve gotten most of my blog posts back in the alerts, along with some other links.  The problem with Google alerts is the same problem that Google has:  You get too many results to be useful unless you narrow your search dramatically.
