Who’s Talking About You?

Want to know who is talking about you or your brand? Well, you can get a daily email from Google Alerts telling you. Although they’re marketing it as a tool for you to keep up with things you are interested in, like news story, competitors, celebrities or your favorite sports teams, you can turn it around and keep up with yourself. By monitoring your name, company or product you will be notified when Google finds them on social media, websites, blog postings, video links, news or groups.

As a photographer I have used it to find image credits using my name. As I community manager I have used it to track Twitter tweets and Facebook postings about websites I’m involved in. How are you going to use it?

Great Google Goats Alive!

Apparently, great goatminds think alike. Google has brought in the goats again to mow their grass in Mountain View – 200 goats for a little over a week. This is the second year that they brought in the goats in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint. Seems as if it’s timed in conjunction with Earth Day. Go goats, go! Inherit the Earth. GoMOW go.
