Google Alerts
Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (e.g., web, news.) based on your choice of query or topic. Some uses of Google Alerts include: monitoring a developing news story, keeping current on a competitor or industry, and getting the latest on an event.


Technorati
Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. Technorati searches, surfaces, and organizes blogs and other forms of independent, user-generated content (e.g., photos, videos, voting.) increasingly referred to as "citizen media." A blog, or weblog, is a regularly updated journal published on the web. Some blogs are intended for a small audience; others vie for readership with national newspapers.


Digg
Digg is a user driven social content website. All the content on Digg is submitted by the community. After content is submitted, other readers "Digg," or rate those submissions so that the most popular items are promoted to the front page for millions of visitors to see.
