Google alerts vs. Trackle alerts (tracklets)

Hey guys,
With the world being bombarded with heaps of information, online tools have had to change. Gone are the days when one had to constantly visit web sites to obtain the latest news.

Trackle is a free and innovative service that allows those with specialized interests to track anything close to their hearts. Whether you want the buzz on celebrity gossip, latest job openings, real estate or sports news, Trackle will track it. With Trackle, you even have the option of tracking crime in your neighborhood! Users are automatically notified via Email, Web, or SMS whenever Trackle finds a match.

Word has it that they're releasing an innovative feature 2moro. If anyone knows anything about it...lemme knw!

Cheers,
Jack

    Maybe I'm just a cynical old git but this looks very much like spam to me. Unless you work in marketing for someone else and always write that way of course.

    I prefer Google Alerts because Google don't join MSE and spam their service.

  • I just love writing and I'm into Fresh online tools. Trackle works for me especially because of the crime alert feature.My mom's alone at home and I like to keep an eye on the crime scenario in her neighborhood. Believe me I'm not into spam and I hate spammers!

    Anyway, they added 2 new services- "Trackle It" and the "Trackle Widgets Library" Don't know about u guys but I prefer Tracklets over google alerts.
    Cheers,
