With Neil Godin
What? Google Alerts is a (genuinely) simple, fr*e-e, and easy-to-use service that lets you know when your name – or any search term you choose – has been mentioned on the net.
Why? In the case of our Social Media Challenge, we want to know when it’s mentioned in blog posts (etc.), in order to see if it’s ‘catching on,’ and being talked about.
How? This really is simple. First, I went to the Google Alerts site, at: http://www.google.com/alerts. Then I typed in, “Marketing Dangerously Social Media Challenge,” and left the default settings unchanged (i.e. I’m asking for “anything” said about the challenge – once a day – with up to 20 results to be shown).
Tipzntrix: You will need to create a Google account (if you don’t already have one) in order to use the Alerts service. In addition to tracking mentions of your name, website or blog, you can also use Google Alerts to monitor a developing news story; keep current on a prospect, competitor or industry; get the latest on a celebrity or event, or keep tabs on your favorite sports teams and athletes. It’s a great service and (did I mention) it’s completely fr*e-e!

More about Trilby Jeeves:
Want to know if you can use social media – and Twitter in particular – to market your business? An internationally recognized social media ‘Twizzard,’ Trilby and her film director partner, Peter D. Marshall, recently wowed ‘em in Los Angeles, when they presented their social media workshop to delegates at the International Film Commission Convention.

Laced with great humor – and loaded with rich content – Trilby’s presentation is a “must-see.” Trilby will present from 4 to 4:30 p.m. at our second Meetup.com meeting at the Hampton Hotel in Langley.
