Try out Google alerts!

I love to shop.  But there are not enough hours in the day for me to keep up certain tech trends….until I found Google Alerts.  I have to admit, I have started looking forward to my next “Alert”! 

All you really have to do is “Google” alerts and follow the instructions. I think you may have to set up a google account which is free, but you can have the alert sent to any email address.; Once set up, you just need to type in what you want to be alerted to with regard to a certain area and how often you want to be alerted and voila!  You have a Google bot of your very own.  I  have found some very interesting tutorials this way. Let me know what you are shopping for and if you have found any “keepers”.

Google Alerts is a keeper for me  Click here to find out more about how Google alerts work.
