MyAlerts Alerting Chrome About Your Twitter, Google Accounts

We are always on the look out for the most recent developments and NEWS. Surfing this on the internet is not an easy task, but services such as Google Alerts, Twitter etc keeps us updated. Theses two services are surely a reliable information source, but tracking them all the time is a tad inconvenient, especially when you have to switch tabs just to check if anything new has appeared or not.

To deal with this situation Chrome has a new extension named My Alerts, which enables you to access all your Twitter Alerts regarding a particular query, Google Alerts, as well as Backtweets. When installed, the extension adds an icon with the picture of a bell, next to the URL bar and lets the user know about the total number of alerts and opens them on a single click.

Simple click on the bell icon to know about a new alert and a frame would appear within the browser window giving you a list of the new alerts. Click on any one of the alerts in the given list, would open it up in a new tab and, you can follow it from there. You can also name the alerts whatever you want.
