Google and RSS
Google should support RSS. Many people equate RSS with syndication much as they do Google with web search. It's virtually ubiquitous. Ironically, there's already a Google API app that allows you to set up dynamic Google search feeds through RSS called Google Alert (http://www.googlealert.com). I hope Google makes the right decision with this one.

New alerts copy of "Google Alert"?
Google's new Web Alerts seem to be a scaled-down attempt at copying the popular Google Alert (www.googlealert.com) service that is based on Google's API. The Google Alert service has been around for over a year and in general offers more options and deeper searches.
I wonder if this is a sign of things to come - Google creating services similar to it's own API developers.
