How To Get News Story Email Alerts

LABELLE, FL. -- Recently Google discontinued it's service notifying Southwest Florida Online subscribers when new stories are published online. 

However, a solution is to add an "alert" service in order to be notified when new Southwest Florida, Glades and Hendry county stories are published.

A couple we find easy to use is Talkwalker.com or Google.com/alerts.  One needs only to add what they want to monitor, in our case, type in "Southwest Florida Online" (with the quotation marks on Talkwalker ), add your email address, select how often you wish to be notified, and Talkwalker or Google Alerts will send an alert by email when new stories are ready.

Try Talkwalker.com and let us know how it works for you. If that one doesn't work well, try Google.com/alerts.

And a third option is Visualping.io. We find this one useful and have used it for years to be notified when a webpage has a change. To use Visualping type in the name of the website, in this case, swflorida.blogspot.com

A note to our readers: Southwest Florida Online's nearly 8,000 articles and stories have garnered almost 6,500,000 views over the years. Thank you readers!

Note that readers using computers or tablets will find a more complete experience with more features visible on the page, including searches and links to an archive all all 8,000 past stories. Although phones users can still see all new stories on the first page of the screen and older stories on succeeding screens, the larger laptop or tablet screens are more capable of showing everything on one screen.
