This has been out there for a weeks or so now. I signed up for it based on the keywords of the DMOZ category I edit in the hope that this would be a source of new sites for consideration to list.

However, of the 30-40 web alerts I got, almost all were news stories (I also get Google news alerts for other keywords) - of those 1 was a possible for a DMOZ listing, but I deceided not to list it.

From what I have seen, this is the experience of others - ie too many news stories.
