NYTimes.com offers micronewsletters

Using NYTimes.com’s Newstracker, you can now receive news auto-generated whenever a certain word appears in an article, byline and/or headline. The service is free, but is probably a good candidate to join NYT.com’s premium services. I recall that LATimes.com once offered something similar called Newshound, but right now can’t find it (or any other e-mail services) on that site.
