Google Alerts are Now RSS-Enabled

Tags:

Google has finally made Google Alerts available via RSS. Just as with email alerts, you can enter search terms and select parts of the web to monitor (news, blogs, web, groups, video) or go for the whole shebang with a "comprehensive" search. For example, here's an alert feed for January's Inauguration Day. Google has enabled feeds to be shared -- so once you create an alert, it can be read in any feed reader or included in any web page.

Ryan,

One of the easiest ways is with Google -- see an earlier RSS4Lib post:
Google Has an RSS Embedding Tool.
