Google Alerts


Google Alerts are email updates automatically sent to you of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic. You can also choose to have your alerts delivered via feed to the feedreader of your choice (e.g., Google Reader or add the feed to your iGooglepage). Google Alerts is a great way to stay organized and filter the web in your direction.
