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.
