Thanks for the illustrations! I just made some extra Google Alerts so I am curious what they will bring me. I will keep you updated.

You receive the same Alerts for Last.fm? That is very interesting! I immediately going to put a Google Alert on my social networking sites nickname as well and see what else comes up.

Thanks for the great feedback. Time has always been the weak spot of search. Google’s timelime experiment is still in the Lab and it does not seem to be maturing or giving any more useful or accurate results. I think the addition of searching over time would definitely improve the search experience. Well, mine at least :)
