19. Google Alerts?
Google Alerts are emails Google sends you when they find new results online
about your chosen search term. Basically, Google Alerts is a way to stay
updated on a particular topic without having to search Google multiple times
throughout the day.
This is what happens:
Google crawls the entire web looking for new content including new web pages,
blogs, newspaper articles, and anything else that includes your search term.
Either when they find it, at the end of the day, or once a week Google emails
you all the new content they found with your search term.
The best part is that you can choose the terms, when they email you, and even
what type of content you want to find and you can create up to 1,000 different
Google Alerts.
