Sample alerts you can set up on Alertpedia
Folks,
We started Alertpedia in the beginning with a very simple goal: alert us about product recalls and earthquakes. Over time it has grown to include many more categories that improve the safety and savings of everyone, while saving time from repeatedly monitoring websites.
Well.. choices lead to questions, and questions lead to a blog post such as this 
Question: What are some example alerts I can use Alertpedia for?
Answer:
- House prices in a zip code (e.g., tell me when a 3-bd room house goes on sale in my zip code for 600k-800k)
- Craigslist - things on sale, jobs in your area (tell me when someone posts a Wii for sale in Philadelphia on Craigslist; tell me when someone needs a web designer in NYC)
- Product and food recalls (tell me when there is a toy recall due to lead, food recalled due to peanuts)
- Air fare deals (tell me when there’s a sale on flight from Newark to Seattle)
- Health news (tell me when there’s some news about asthma, avian flu)
- Traffic (tell me if there’s bad traffic on I-695 during my commute hours)
- Weather (tell me when there’s a thunderstorm warning for my county)
- News (tell me when “obama” comes in the news)
- Earthquakes (tell me when there’s an earthquake in California)
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have more questions!
thank you, Dharani
