Talkwalker Alerts is a content monitoring service provided by Talkwalker, a social media analytics company headquartered in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. It enables users to monitor their online presence and reputation and follow topics of interest on the web.[1][2] The service sends e-mails containing information that matches keywords users subscribed to. Talkwalker launched its Alerts service in 2013 as a free alternative to Google Alerts.[3][4]

Technology

Talkwalker Alerts rests on an easy to understand principle that is common to standard media monitoring services. A server tracks changes and logs data.[5] It launches web spiders or robots (bots) to automatically monitor online sources including social media, newspapers, magazines, trade journals, TV stations and news syndication services in 22 languages.[6] [7] These bots crawl the internet searching for websites and pages that match selected keywords. Then, it delivers up to date, near real-time results organized by search query either via e-mail or RSS feed.[8][9]
