Publisher's Description
Earth Alerts allows you to monitor in near real-time a variety of natural hazard events that are occurring anywhere around the world. Alert notifications, reports, and imagery provide the user with a convenient way to view natural phenomenon as they occur, whether close to home or some far-flung corner of the globe.
Earth Alerts uses a variety of online resources provided by organizations such as the National Weather Service, U.S. Geological Survey and Smithsonian Institution (just to name a few), to identify what sort of activities "Mother Earth" is currently dishing out on the planet.

It gets a -1. One of the worst and least intuative programs I've ever encountered. Certainly not worth the time I wasted with this peace of crap. Thank you very much.

I am not sure were some of these reviews come from. They don't seem to be reviews at all just statements about personal preferences.
This software is what most of the other weather and alert software should be.
I especially like that its not just another browser add on (I am browse-rd to death)
It provides relevant information about earth events that you get to chose.
The author seems to make daily updates. That is a little problematic. I am not sure if this is a beta release.
The only suggestion I would make is that it becomes skinable or more customizable in appearance.
The content and sources are excellent.

Pros: not one
Cons: crap
Bottom Line: It gets a -1. One of the worst and least intuative programs I've ever encountered. Certainly not worth the time I wasted with this peace of crap. Thank you very much.

Excellent program! Every PC should have this.
Do not listen to the clueless stupid one star reviewers.

There's no other way of putting it, Earth Alerts is a dog of a program. One wonders why the programmer bothered.
I was hoping this program might have been a replacement for XEarth--an excellent program that's been around since OS/2 days but which has not been updated since the USGS - U.S. Geological Survey updated their IP addresses a while ago, now XEarth's earthquakes indicator won't work.
(Be warned, if you are going to use programs (or write them) that call on USGS data then ensure the IP address are not hard-coded (use an ini file etc.) as the USGS seems to change its IPs every 18 months or so.)
Any comparison between this heap of junk and XEarth and others is a waste of time. Earth Alerts has no proper dynamically expandable graphics etc., at best it uses the tiny USGS graphics which are nigh on useless if you're trying to use the program as a desktop backdrop. Moreover, even using the program is confusing, items that ought to be links simply aren't etc.
