Web Alerts meaning the news alerts? That's been around for a while, it's Beta and I love it.

My experience is that they return exactly the same results.

I tried using a few web alerts for keywords that I track but they didn't really send anything interesting or worthwhile and I ended up unsubscribing from them.

I've subscribed to two names of public figures on both web alerts and news alerts and they have been absolutely identical results.

ironically, the web alerts did NOT report when one of them launched a website....
