How to Become (almost) all knowing

So,

Something I’ve been using recently is an app by Google called “Google Alert”
http://www.google.com/alerts

This is one of the coolest things I’ve yet to subscribe to basically how it works is you enter search criteria and Alert will notify you either via RSS feed, or email when that criteria is met.

sure it takes time to index the interwebs, but it is so worth it!
I have searches right now for anything that meets (Band, Tyler, Tx), (Photographer, Tyler, Tx) and (Michael Strout, Photographer)

These 3 simple searches inform me when someone says something about me, when some other Photographer in the Tyler, Tx area does anything, and when a band does anything in Tyler.


It does the searching so I don’t have to.

Love it.

Have fun being (almost) all Knowing!
