Google Alert Change

December 14, 2008

My Google Alert changed today. I get an alert for the phrase “enterprise search.” Yesterday I received text only. Today I received text and embedded pictures. Here’s a screenshot of my improved Google Alert. I prefer text in alerts because the BlackBerry I have does a lousy job with html mail.

Has anyone else noticed this change? Am I late to the party? Let me know.

I get several alerts daily and I’ve not seen this yet. I’d say it’s new and phasing in, much like the Gmail themes did.

I’m getting alerts via mail in Outlook. No pictures. Did you get it in gmail?

My alerts now contain redirects, ala http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://www.example.com, which Blackberry doesn’t like. Trying to figure out how to get Google to not use them or make Blackberry like them.
