Google alerts have become very important nowadays, since you can keep a track of how often people talk about you or about your interest. I read a blog where the publisher said that it’s as good as a PR who actually charges for providing the same service.
I had set my google alerts recently and didn’t know they come in a bulk! Next morning I opened my email and it was flooded with alerts of Donald Trump, Game of thrones, Behati Prinsloo, Narendra Modi and many more.
To start with, the best and probably the most funniest was an alert by Peter Suderman, the managing editor at Reason.com, called The incredible Cluelessness of Donald Trump’. It consists of the hilarious extended interviews and speeches of Donald Trump and never stopping support of GOP to his recklessness. Few of headlines he mentioned were, Five different positions of Trump on abortion, Impossible Debt reduction promises like clearing $10 trillion in 8 years, Nonsense Policy and Dangerous self-certainty. The writer critically analysed Trump’s negligence towards the citizens and his never ending worthless and useless interviews to the media.
The next alert I am going to talk about is the ever famous and most awaited Game of Thrones series. The Independent, a morning national newspaper of UK, published a report on After Show of Game of Thrones on HBO. It will be a talk show about the series and they will discuss on how the story is proceeding and its characters. HBO has previously arranges after shows of the serials Breaking Bad as ‘Talking Bad’ and The Walking Dead as ‘Talking Dead’. I think it’s a great way to connect with the audience and provide deep discussion on the episodes. The news report also quotes George RR Martin- “The hosts will likely have a fair amount to talk about as the show looks set to surpass the books” He also added, “For years, my readers have been ahead of the viewers. This year, for some things, the reverse will be true.” This sounds very interesting and I am definitely up for it.
I would like to recommend Google alerts to all my viewers and ask them to let me know in the comments of what all they read and learned from it.
