TweetBeep + Google Alerts to keep track of…anything
Ever wanted to keep track of…anything? Want to know when someone tweets your name? Or when your site comes up in a Google search? There are tools out there to do just that. And who doesn’t want to know who’s talking about them?
Google Alerts lets you set up a daily, weekly, or at-once email notice of when your chosen terms come up in new search results. TweetBeep offers similar functionality specific to Twitter with plenty of specifications around defining your search terms. In fact, we were talking about this service for Twitter around the POKE office yesterday. While TweetBeep is cool, we’d really like to see a similar service offered that would put the alert directly in your Twitter stream rather than sending it via email (this may not exist due to limitations with Twitter’s API).
