Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic. This is the tool you should use if you want to always want latest update on the topic that you are blogging about.
Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:
- monitoring a developing news story
- keeping current on a competitor or industry

This is another ‘alert’ tool by Google which I believe good for updating bloggers with latest news and development. Google Fast Flip is a web application that lets users discover and share news articles.
It combines qualities of print and the Web, with the ability to “flip” through pages online as quickly as flipping through a magazine. It also enables users to follow friends and topics, discover new content and create their own custom magazines around searches
