TOP 100 TOOLS
Google Alerts
Google Alerts provides you with email
updates of latest relevant Google
results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or
topic. For instance if you want to keep up with news
about e-learning, type that in as your search term and you
will receive notifications of all new Google results that
contain that search term. You can also manage the
alerts you receive, for example how often you want to
receive them.
