Email Alert Alert

AITOOW wonders why Google relies on third party gadgets for blogger? Just reminding the "monitors" that the email alert is going away July 1. Now is Google just so poorly run that when they bought blogger that they didn't spend any money upgrading the site? How long would it take them to recreate the script for an email alert gadget? Probably. See the lousy search feature. However, could they think that forcing you to check every day for new blogs would increase page views? Or could they be disabling this feature for blogs they don't like and pretending it is a site wide change? Sad that I have to ask. In any case, be aware that email alerts will go away July 1. I know this is a pain for an intermitent blog like this.
