Want to Automatically know when something about You is posted in Google?
Use a Google Alert. Google will send you an email each time the words you enter, in this case your name, show up as a new posting within Google. You can customize the options to your preference. Different alert types include Blog postings, news stories, videos, web sites, and various groups. You can select the comprehensive selection, under type, to get an alert for any of the previous categories.  Alerts can be set for once a week, daily, or as it happens. Go to http://www.google.com/alerts for more information.  Yahoo and MSN also have similar services.
