I am always on the lookout for ways to save time (even make time out of thin air), and I recently discovered the benefits of using Google Alerts to receive notifications about new content published online. You can use Google Alerts to receive e-mails about new content that contains specific keywords you want to research, monitor, track or follow on an ongoing basis. Google Alerts searches the web for your keywords and notifies you when it finds content in news articles, blog posts, website updates, video content, Google Groups, etc.
