Google has a cool little tool which can bring search results on news right to your inbox: Google Alerts. The service is totally free and it it works on both web searches and news searches. But, lets say you are simply interested in a particular topic or maybe you run a website on a particular niche topic and you want to be aware right away of any new news on your topic. Go to Google Alerts and enter your search terms, the type of search, the interval you want your emails and your email address. Then, sit back and get their emails with your search results.
