Video-Alerts – Your Google Alerts For Video!
January 20, 2009 – 5:07 am
Video-Alerts, started at December 2008, launched by Israeli Metalgrass Software, is a simple yet powerful service for people who want to get notified when new videos are uploaded to YouTube. Video-Alerts can be used by bloggers, information professionals, and just anyone who wants to be the first to watch new videos.
Video-Alerts is a simple service that allows you to get email notifications when new videos are available, using keywords (or channels). The service is free and currently supports YouTube only.
Google has their own video alerts service (part of Google Alerts). But it wasn’t good enough - they only send alerts on “popular” videos. That means that:
- Some videos you won’t know about at all
- You’ll only get an alert once a video becomes popular - so you won’t be the first!
Video Alerts can be useful to bloggers who want to be the first to find out about new videos in their niche, information officers, or anyone really - can be used to follow your favorite musician, investment portfolio, local events, etc."
In the future, Video-Alerts intend to expand the service to more video sites.

Thank Israeli Soldiers - Care Package to Israeli Soldiers
January 13, 2009 – 3:34 am
“Thank Israeli Soldiers” an Israeli charity, was founded by 3 young IDF reserve officers to give Israelis and Jews around the world a vehicle to show appreciation to the young men and women protecting Israel.
This morale-boosting relationship is created by people sending personal notes and a care package filled with supplies specifically requested by the soldiers themselves. We work together with the Friends of the IDF to deliver the packages to IDF bases throughout the country.
The campaign launched in Israel on November 16, 2008 when a professional advertising campaign, donated by Young & Rubican, rolled out on buses, newspapers and radio stations. A guerilla campaign and media coverage quickly put “L’Chayalim B’Ahava” , as it is called in Hebrew, on the map.
As the campaign moves into schools and youth groups across Israel, Thank You Israeli Soldiers was launched in an internet campaign on December 8, 2008. Volunteers in the USA and London are beginning to bring the project to their communities, with the goal of involving worldwide Jewry in this easy mitzvah of showing soldiers we care.
Thousands of young men and women chose to give years of their lives to defend Israel. You can choose to say thanks by choosing which size package to send, which area of the country to send the package, and what to say in your letter to a soldier. When you click send, we’ll take care of everything else.

This is how much they care about the children? No justification for this type of activity no matter what.
