Who’s talking about you?
Are you already using Google Alerts? Don’t know what Google Alerts are? Do you need to update your search terms?
I got a reminder today from Dr. Miggy’s recent post about how useful Google Alerts can be. Google Alerts, like it sounds, send you emails when any term you search for is found on the internet, or on a blog. This can be very helpful instead of constantly searching for yourself.
I had only one set up for my blog url, but added a few more, just to see who’s talking about me. Really, I wanted to see if anyone was using my photos too :D
Dr. Miggy’s post includes step by step instructions on how to set up your alerts, with screenshots too! Thanks Miggs!
Another tool to use in addition to Google Alerts is http://blogpulse.com. Thanks Ed for pointing this one out to me.

I’ve been using Google Alerts to keep track of announcements regarding camera gear I am waiting to be released. Never thought about using it to automatically perform vanity searches!
Now I am off to create some!

Hey! What’s up with you guys? Hey, stupid question, but are those thing to do today stickers real? I know I am dork, but if they are let me know….I need the motivation. (Unless we have to do something DIFFERENT every day. That would be pretty hard for me since EVERY single day of my life is pretty much the same.) :)
