Back in May 2007, I wrote a post on Google Alerts Stay Informed. Since then I have been using Google Alerts to stay up on certain search terms that I want to follow for my area Ann Arbor and Saline, Michigan.
When you sign up for Google Alerts from you GMail account, (which is the starting point for any of FREE Google apps), you can set it up to receive the alerts two ways email or RSS. Until my lunch with Steve Holden, I didn't know you could subscribe by RSS Feeds.
If your not sure what an RSS Feed is and how it can save you time, watch this YourTube Video by Lee Lefever and you will get it.
Here are a couple of screen shots to show you how to change your Google Alerts from coming in via email to the alerts coming in to your feed reader. There are many feed readers you can subscribe to but I prefer Google, because I can have it in my IGoogle Home Page.
This has made my life so much easier this week since I follow so many Google alerts and my Inbox was out of control.
I still follow my name in email because if I don't get to my feedreader that day, I want to know ASAP if my name is mentioned anywhere on the internet.
