CNET News Alerts (beta)

February 15th, 2004

Gary mentions that CNET has launched an e-mail alert service. Users can get articles on any keyword, company name, or topic.

After reading this, I immediately thought about syndication. Why not offer the same thing for RSS? Wired has been doing this for a few years now with their Cusomized Search Feeds (scroll down on the page). I wold love to read stories in my aggregators that only correspond to my specific keywords for CNET stories. That would cut down on my reading time. And, if all services did this, I could save close to a half hour of reading time. Guaranteed.

I’ve sent CNET an e-mail with my suggestion.
