Current awareness service
- Also known as a real-time alert service. Help people stay abreast on new developments in any field or on any topic.
- Take advantage of the fact that every TT tag (and remix feed, and search) publishes a feed in real time. If your project has one main tag, publicize it and invite people to subscribe. If it has a series of important tags, publicize them all and let users choose the ones of interest to them.
- Take advantage of the way TT hubs can crowd-source the job of finding new or important developments on any topic. Your current-awareness feeds can be more comprehensive than similar feeds built by individuals, even dedicated individuals.
- The Open Access Tracking Project (OATP) uses TT this way.
