hey gerry.... all the videos have already been posted- in some cases for months - with the same tags and descriptions (and obviously the same subject matter), and have had an rss feed since september. I began posting on blip last friday and the google alerts followed soon after, and of course, they link to the blip file, so that is how I can be quite sure that the alerts are a result of posting to blip. I can not tell you what blip does to make thier videos google alert friendly... you would have to ask them.
