Tips & Tricks: Google Alerts
Here’s an extremely simple way to stay on top of any subject that interests you: Google Alerts.
I’ve just started using Google Alerts, one of the Big G’s many small and simple tools that have great upsides. It’s a robotic digital “clipping service” that scours the Internet and sends you an email with what it has found. This is one of Google’s “less is more” services, as the presentation is basic no frills, all you do is put in your keywords and your email address and press ‘submit”. You can make minor tweaks to the frequency and if you want more or fewer results, but that’s it really.
Aside from adding more filler to your inbox, there seems to be no other negative tradeoffs. You may not be interested in the majority of things this service will link you to, but it does give you a similar thrill as other types of fishing when you do catch something of value in the net.
Here’s a recent sample of what Google Alerts returns to me on the search terms “Open Innovation”, the results arrive categorized by “News”, “Blogs” and “Web”.
