Google Alert – Devin Downey
April 11, 2007
This morning I received my first Google Alert that included an entry that I had created myself. It’s interesting that it contained both of my last two entries. I feel like a proud papa.
Ironically, I also received a Google Alert set for the name of my employer today that included a blog entry for someone we had just hired. I’m assuming that this new guy does not understand that Google Alerts pick up much of what is out on the web and that by mentioning our company name he has brought numerous fellow employees to his blog. Folks that for the most part otherwise would not know he existed. More than likely our CEO has read it by now. Considering all of the emotions he has on that page, I don’t think I’d like that kind of introduction to my new company. He’ll learn soon enough!

Good job. Don\’t know if I\’d want my name to show up in google but since it\’s the effect of your deliberate action, I guess you\’re glad.
