Did you know that there's a service called Google Alerts?

So that you can get advised of new pages as soon as they appear in Google? Like, say, any page mentioning your last name?

Yeah, neither did I.

Oh well. :-)

Oh, and it only searches newspapers and news web sites. Not all of google.

I don't know about "all of Google", but it isn't limited to newspapers or news sites -- my alert on "Seebacher" turned up http://www.unchi.org/birthday/ , after all, and right before that a new (or newly updated) Austrian computer firm's site, http://www.seebacher.co.at/ .

It found the birthday thing! Drat!

Oh well. Google giveth, and google taketh away.
