The Homa Files

Stumbled on an interesting web tool :

Google Alerts notifies you via email when your name shows up on the Web, and it provides links to the reference sites so you can see exactly what’s being said.

It’s a great way to stay on top of all cyberspace references to your name.

You can receive alerts in real time or in daily or weekly digests.

Register  alerts at www.google.com/alerts

To improve search accuracy,   put your name in quotes (e.g., “ken homa”) when you establish your alerts.

Google Alerts aren’t restricted to your name and personal info.

You can to track Web postings related to your area of expertise, (e.g. marketing strategy”), sports teams (“chicago bears”), professional contacts (“warren buffett”), etc.
