I understand that Google Alerts allows for or handles queries the same way Google’s search engine does, i.e.: Google Alerts is a kind of personalised version of Google search combined with some “alarm” function… I wonder: Might Google Alerts serve as a partial alternative to my mailbox? Between 60 and 80 mails daily is a lot, especially when I start delving deeper into (new) subject matter pointed to in my mails or start research on a very specific topic mentionned in some of them. This way of coping with information however doesn’t protect me anymore from information overload, or so it seems. Upto now I’ve been using my e-mail to get the latest news from a variety of sites (mainly focussed on sciences, politics, economy and software).
