Google Alert...a great tool


In the April CyberSkeptic's Guide to Internet Research is an article on Google Alert [http://www.googlealert.com], a powerful tracking technology for finding new mentions of terms in Web pages. It is not to be confused with Google's News Alerts, which track news stories. Google Alert is not affiliated with Google, but it makes use of Google content.

What I like most about Google Alert is its ability to send an RSS feed to a blog reader instead of my email account. So far, it's free.
