Work productivity, time management, organization, tools and tips

Okay, who isn't, right?

But seriously, I'm amazed at how more and more people are finding the Google products practical in performing their daily business chores. In this case, I'm guessing, Paulo Coelho, the popular storyteller from Brazil, is using it for monitoring the buzz about his book the New York Times bestseller The Alchemist.

So what's this Google product that Paulo Coelho is using for monitoring online reactions or maybe just keeping updated with just about any info?

It's Google Alerts. This Google service allows anyone who wants to track any information online through email updates. It is particularly useful to those who are monitoring a certain industry, personality, or business competition.

I've learnt about it through one of the old issues of a print magazine promoting a meaningful career for everyone - What's Your Motto.
