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

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

hey Patrick J. what are the problems you're having with the alerts you receive? Do you have an example alert?

Huge time savings realized since I started using RSS to keep up on news & blogs. Handy too that Google Alerts can be delivered as feeds

@kirannarendran Anand Subramanian Try the new "Updates" type on Google Alerts - it has results from Twitter, Google Buzz, Facebook and more.

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

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

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