i-Pods and RSS Feeds
Similar to Google alerts but more bigger in scope is the RSS feeds technology. This allows users to specify RSS enabled website URL's for news , blogs etc and as and when these sites get updated the data is sent to the user desktop.
In short you don't have to visit these sites again and again. A good aggregator ( the program that's used to get the data from the sites) is Abilon . for eg if you download and install this program just enter this URL http://kedarbhumkar.blogspot.com/atom.xml . All my blog contents would be delivered on the desktop automatically as and when they get updated.
A new variant of RSS feeds allows music to be "POD"casted. That is you can access such music using i-pod for free. However it still is in it's infancy
