~time to change my thoughts~
Do you use Google alerts? yes, no? Do you know what they are?
Well let me tell you how I use Google Alerts, and you can decide for yourself.
Google Alerts is a nifty little app that you can program to give you daily updates on certain key words.
For me, I have maybe ten google alerts. I have alerts on my favorite actors- to find out what’s new and upcoming in their careers, where they will be for a convention, etc.
I have alerts set on my name, both married and maiden names. Keeep an eye on who’s doing what with my name.
I have alerts on book series, and the authors. Again find out when a new book, or if the Author has a new series coming out.
I think this is a nifty little app that google has, and that not everyone appears aware of. Um, go and google: Google Alerts
It’s very easy to use. Try it.
So comments, who does use Google alerts? Will you try after reading this article? 😀 no, I’m not affiliated with Google in any way, shape or form. LOL I wish!!! 😀

I use Google alerts for completely egocentric reasons. I have alerts posted for my name and the titles of the books I’ve written… I want to be the first to know when I get reviewed!

LOL That’s why I have a google alert set for my character too. See what is being said.
Don’t you just love how one can work technology for new and interesting ideas? 🙂
Thank you, Marc for commenting. Have a great day! 😀
