Subscribe to a story, not just a blog

When there is a particular story that you have an interest in, the best way to stay current is by subscribing to the story and setting up email alerts.

1. Subscribe to a BlogSearch for the topic
2. Setup an email Alert

As an example the story about the Helicopter being used in Jackson, Mississippi has some special interest for me, so I subscribed to "Jackson Mississippi Helicopter" in BlogSearch and then setup an email Alert with the same topic. In this case I set the type to "Comprehensive" and the timing to "As it Happens".

One more option is to use the Google AJAX Search API which you can configure to return results from where you want. With one click you can search for "Jackson Mississippi Helicopter" and see Blog, Web, News and Video results.

Now I can sit back and watch the story come to me.
