automatic results?

[tam9]

Hi all,

Can anyone help me out here, I'm sure there is software out there that can do this but I just don't know of any...I'm looking for a program or website (ideally) that searches for a list of search commands and when they see like new news come up it either posts to an rss feed or emails me or updates in its current form...I know it sounds vague but hopefully someone can help.

Many thanks.

Google news sounds like it:

http://news.google.co.uk/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn

If you type in your search criteria at the top you will get a list of news items meeting that criteria, you can then scroll to the bottom and click the rss link to get news via rss with those search terms.

If you want email alerts then you need a gmail account, sign into google and then...
