I checked the alert and I had set it to be "comprehensive" and send me alerts "as-it-happens". Hmm, 'as-it-happens'? Judging from the time passed between alert and my previous blog post; it took Google ~1hr to detect my blog entry. That does not sound like 'as-it-happens' to me.
Ps. Umm, and I wonder what's up with the timing? I posted this at 00:20am EDT but see the posted time as T23:06-5:00 ???

OMG. Google didn't read your blog within the second. It takes time for things to hit the index. Be thankful it picked it up in one hour.
Umm, I could not care less if it indexes it in a sec or in an hour to be honest. I think it is terrific that they can index it in a hour.
It's about understanding what the Google alerts options like 'as-it-happens' mean in terms of time.
