Speaking of Google Alerts...

in Random Bytes

Sometime overnight (somewhere between 11:47pm and 12:25pm) Google started sending their NewsAlerts from googlealerts-noreply@google.com instead of the newsalerts-noreply@google.com that my IMAP filters have come to grow and love over the past few months. Going to the Newsalerts websites indicates that this just isn't limited to the email addresses - everything has been rebranded.

Does this imply the end of the beta? An official launch?

Or is it just some product manager with too much time on their hands?

...and speaking of people with too much time on their hands, I really must get back to something more serious...if you have any thoughts what that should be, drop me a note.

    I thought you were taking over the world? That's pretty serious...

    nah...that's just fun spare time stuff. I have to leave that for when I'm not doing serious stuff or blogging...;-)
    I will take over, but it will be a slow gradual change. I promise. :)
