I once tried Google Web Alerts on Blogs but my mailbox almost exploded after 2 days... I'm afraid that ZAPTxt would have a similar effect ;-) CU Roel</p> Hi Eddie, I use Wizz RSS and Oracle News extensions (in FireFox) to keep track of the blogs (like this one).

Still, it’s nice to know such things exist. Thanks for pointing it out.
