Google Alerts

#RSS feeds for #GoogleAlerts are back! Stay tuned for more:)

@manishaJLS glad to hear Google Alerts is keeping you updated :)

@Ed which browser were you using on the XP desktop? I'd like to see if I can re-create the problem. Glad you have access again though

@Ed the link to edit existing alerts is on the right hand side of the management page. Let me know if you're having any specific problems

@aravindajith Congratulations on the mention at Quora. Happy to have helped inform you about it

@saving4someday hey, sorry to hear about the confusion due to your recent alert. Hope the product is helping you out most of the time

@adnys Hey Andrew. Just to check, you'd like a way to set the time at which the digest emails are sent through?

@johnruzicka we use the same ranking system used by Google web search

@superempower do you currently have the alerts set to 'Only the best results'? Could you give me an example query with bad results?

hey @superempower what are the problems you're having with the alerts you receive? Do you have an example alert?

@adnys are you using our Realtime alerts? Would you want the alerts to be held until 6am or for anything during that time to be dropped?

@gbiv glad to hear you're enjoying Google Alerts. We'd love to know what you use it for and how it helps

Hi @johnruzicka - how do you have your alert set? Is it just for Realtime or comprehensive?

@jamigold you might be interested in the 'Updates' feature of Google Alerts. It provides alerts from Twitter and other realtime services

@ItsEyeris Aargh, web spam - I'm sure there's some way in which it is artistic or culturally interesting, but we try not to send it. Sorry!

@kirannarendran Select the Updates type in the first dropdown menu and you'll get tweets. Try using the preview if you're not sure.

@Margoandhow Try using "Margo Howard" or +Margo +Howard as your query - you should get better results!

@kirannarendran On google.com/alerts, use the "Type" dropdown to select "Updates".

@jilliancyork Try setting volume to "All results". We're always working to improve comprehensiveness without sending a bunch of spam.
