TweetAlarm Sends its 1 Millionth Alert
TweetAlarm.com is a web site I whipped up one weekend to send me email alerts when someone tweets about my company and other things of interest. It is like Google Alerts for Twitter. I wrote it in about 2 hours and put it online, its been covered by a handful of key tech blogs including Lifehacker and Mashable but I’ve never actively promoted it. Yet thanks to the power of the web, it has grown every day on its own since its launch in 2009 and it just sent its 1 millionth email alert. Pretty amazing for something that took about 2 hours to create. I did later invest a little bit in having a designer make it look nice but other than that, it was some simple coding and providing some utility that is of interest to many web site owner, entrepreneurs and marketeers. Congrats to the TweetAlarm team, oh wait that’s me.
