Hello! My name is… Imelda Bettinger

wife, mom, computer geek, photographer talking about total randomness

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.
