Google Alerts sends automatic emails when there are new search results for topics that you determine in advance. Google alerts comes in 6 different variations - 'News', 'Web', 'Blogs', 'Comprehensive', 'Video' and 'Groups'. I would recommend at the very least subscribing to the Blog Google Alert with your company as a topic.
Not only do you benefit from staying up to date on the newest information it also provides new topics for you to discuss on your blog. Possible posts include:
- Article Reviews
- News on the latest developments in the industry
- Rebuttals to negative attention your company/industry is receiving
- Allows you to discover / work with other industry bloggers
For more information check out Google Alerts Help Page.
