Personally I'd replace google alerts with https://mention.net Much more powerful IMHO. Disclaimer: I work for mention...

Just gave this a try and it looks very nice, you have a new customer. Question, how do I remove my own tweets from the mentions inbox? Would entering my twitter URL as a blocked URL work?

spelling mistake on the windows GUI: "Personnal Settings", bottom of 'edit alert'

To remove your own tweets from your results, click on the "forbiddden" sign ("Block mentions from") in the rightmost panel while you're viewing one of your tweets

You should add it as a tool =)

I didn't know I could do that :) Done! http://whattouse.com/tool/mention

Okay, this app is awesome! Thanks for sharing! One thing though, is there no option for "as it happens" email alerts?

We're actually working on that, but the desktop notifications are pretty good if you use the desktop app. On chrome you can get notifications as well, if you give your authorization.

Ninja bug report.

I installed it but couldn't log in with my Google account. I clicked "Sign up with your Google account", completed the Google accounts popup, and then the Google accounts popup was happy and it went away, but then nothing happened in the Mention window..

Thanks for the report. It should display a modal window asking you to confirm your email address. Were you logged in to several google accounts at that time? Would you mind trying again and letting me know what the web inspector console outputs?

thanks!

Yeah I am logged into 3 google accounts. I tried again, and there is nothing in either the console or the network tab after I finish the google login window. It's like it just isn't communicating with the other window.

you got some css bug http://i.imgur.com/bVpZt.png (firefox)

I'm on Firefox nightly, look OK on my side.

This seems to be really broken for me on OS X 10.8.1. It froze up when I tried to create an account and now it just freezes up on app launch. I like the idea of this app, though! Really hope I get it running and try it out! :)

Never mind. Looks like it was just a hiccup with your site status. All seems to be working now!

Nice website and service. +1 for providing desktop version as well. I'd hope to see Firefox add-on too!

I've replaced Google Alerts w/ your lovely app on the Web Site Launch Toolkit. This is a perfect example of why I created What To Use...to find out about great apps like this one!

A favorite of mine (since I wrote it) is this package for quickly (very quickly) putting up landing pages on AppEngine:

Basically, add HTML, CSS, JS, and you have a fully-functional landing page with a signup form.

Why haven't you added it as a tool?

Huh, I didn't notice you could add tools. Added!

Missing from the list: Setup Twitter, Facebook etc for your website. What about developer checklist, what about how to set up Google Apps for business, emails, hosting account, domain setup correctly? SEO/SEM in little bit more detail.

<3 this feedback! To address the social account brand registrations I added the KnowEm tool. I've also added Google Apps.

Are you referring to a specific developer checklist? Do you have one you'd recommend me to include? Can you please add it as a tool/send me the link?

I'll probably setup a separate SEO/SEM Toolkit altogether because there's a helluva lot to cover there. Perhaps I'll allow for the ability to include other toolkits as tools in toolkits?

Thanks for your input here!

Just curious, do you have any plans to monetize this site?

I thought I'd find referal codes for the links to the linked products, but it's not the case (not for the few I tried, at least).

Currently I am not monetizing the site in any fashion. In the future I may.

It's a nice list, though I'd use blitz.io rather than loadimpact when it comes to load testing (mainly due to it's handy API)

Collection of all the tools on single page for website analysis, No need to go anywhere else.

I'm getting issues clicking through on links to screaming frog and click dog

What kind of issues are you experiencing?

Is this your website? I'm getting this error - Fatal error: Call to undefined function node_access_needs_rebuild() in /home/wtuse/public_html/sites/all/modules/taxonomy_access/taxonomy_access.module on line 598

Yes it is. Looks like a temporary cache issue. Cleared the cache and it's all back to normal. Thanks for pointing this out!

Now it's back, it must be related to the 300+ simultaneous visitors on the site right now. I believe I know what the fix is, I just don't want to risk breaking the site right now in order to address it.

OK...I risked it, it's fixed. Thanks again for pointing that out!

You should add something like LoadImpact.com to the list ;-)

I literally just did that prior to reading this! Any other addition suggestions?
