Sometimes I want to get updates on a news story, and it’s small or local so the coverage is sparse. I’d like to get an alert when a new news story or social media post is published.
I think google has something like this. A more private or self hosted one would be nice
Doesn’t RSS do the trick?
I’m not familiar with how I’d set that up. I usually find an existing RSS feed and follow it
edit: haven’t used Google Alerts in a while. Looks like you can have it send an email without tying it to your account. That should work fine
