Yeah I sign in to my Google account, go to account settings, and look at all my services that Google's sponsors, then I click on "Alerts".

Sometimes services are not available because I am not signed up with them yet, but I know Google has them... so I then I just search the service in the google web search and sign up... later it will always appear in my services lists after that.
