The place to come to talk about all things IBC related. Or not IBC related. Just keep it reasonably respectful.

Nifty Tool - Google Alerts

Post by Royals »

http://www.google.com/alerts
I set these up last week for some of my players and some prospects I'm watching and it's a really cool tool. It's not going to tell you who the latest hot prospect is, but it is great for automatically aggregating information on guys you know you want to watch. Almost like your own customizable Rotoworld news feed.

This may be a nifty tool, Bren...but you are a magnificent bastard.

Thanks. :-)
Can I take that to mean you had your eye on a certain Twins pitcher?

Nope. I was just quoting Seinfeld in a similar vein to "nifty tool"...

Oh, so this was a serious post? We're just now figuring out Google news alerts? Got it.

Yup, I'd never tried it before, which is pretty unusual for me as usually I'm on top of any Google service.
I had mentioned it to JP and he had never seen it before either so I figured I would share.
