  Real-time detection of microlensing has moved from proof of concept in 1994
to a steady stream of events this year. Global dissemination of these events by
the MACHO and OGLE collaborations has made possible intensive photometric and
spectroscopic followup from widely dispersed sites confirming the microlensing
hypothesis. Improved photometry and increased temporal resolution from followup
observations greatly increases the possibility of detecting deviations from the
standard point-source, point-lens, inertial motion microlensing model. These
deviations are crucial in understanding individual lensing systems by breaking
the degeneracy between lens mass, position and velocity. We report here on GMAN
(Global Microlensing Alert Network), the coordinated followup of MACHO alerts.
