Can anyone explain to me what Google Alerts is about?

I signed up for it and get an email daily from it. I'm guessing people are searching google for my name based on what they read somewhere?

this is from an email this morning. From I post I did in May 2006 on Bibble.

Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.

Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:

* monitoring a developing news story
* keeping current on a competitor or industry
* getting the latest on a celebrity or event
* keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams
