I get Amber Alerts via email from my ISP, Earthlink. It's been awhile since I used it, but I believe Earthlink's toolbar will also give Amber Alert notice's. Sorry, but I haven't used that toolbar for something like three years.

The thing is I only get them if the alert covers my geographical area. It really isn't necessary for someone in Maine to get a Amber Alert from California. That would be the only real problem I see with doing that on a forum such as this. Since a Amber Alert is mostly a local event.

The CNN website does something similar with local news and weather, so it could be done. I even get the local county news on my CNN page. I believe that is done with a cookie.
