Google Alerts
You may find this useful to help you stay on top of what's most important to you.
Google Alerts is a free, automated monitoring tool provided by Google that sends email notifications when new content—such as web pages, newspaper articles, blogs, or scientific research—matches your specified search terms.
Description & Purpose
- What it does: It acts as a "digital watchdog," crawling the web and emailing you when your chosen keywords appear.
- Common Uses: Tracking your brand or personal name, monitoring competitors, staying updated on industry trends, or catching plagiarism.
- Cost: Completely free with a Google/Gmail account.
