First off, for this job you'll need to be familiar with Google Alerts. If you don't know what these are, take a second to check it out: <[login to view URL]>
What I'm looking to do is have the headlines, links, and snippet of the articles from the email put on my website automatically.
I suppose the way to do this is write a script that somehow checks an email address for the google alert email and then dumps the info into a database. This script would be run daily by a cron job.
I prefer that this be done in PHP.
If you have any questions about what I want please ask.
Thanks
Alex
