I have a list and I would like to set an alert for "Item created by me is modified".
I would like to, by default, have set this alert for every user in the company.
I know I can create a workflow that runs on when an item is edited, but I would prefer to use the out of the box alerts if possible.
Is there a clean easy global way to do this?
Do I need to set an event reciever for item added and set an alert on the item level?

$web = Get-SPWeb "http://intranet.sharepoint.com"
$group = $web.Groups["Intranet Members"]
$list = $web.Lists["Shared Documents"]
foreach ($user in $group.Users){
$alert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$alert.Title = "My Alert"
$alert.AlertType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::List
$alert.List = $list
$alert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::Email
$alert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::Add
$alert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::Immediate
$alert.Update()
}
$web.Dispose()
