Heh, I just started using Google Alerts to not only keep up with things of interest to me, but also as another way to find like-minded bloggers I’ve never read before. If you’ve not seen Google Alerts, you just plug in your desired keywords, choose the type of alert (news, blogs, web, comprehensive, video, groups), choose how often to be alerted, and give up your email addy.
The result is a concise email report of Google’s finds based on your keywords. I’ve set up about 20 different alerts, one of which is a very broad, blog specific search of the keyword “worship.” Look who’s shown up for the party. Recognize anyone?
You don’t think we blog too much do you? Nah!
(EDIT: Then there’s nothing like getting another Google Alert an hour later listing this very post!)
