One way to stay updated with the latest news and information in the domaining industry is by setting up your own Google Alerts. Some of yo u may have known about this tool, but some may have not even heard about it. For those in the second category, let me just briefly show you how to set up your own Google Alerts

First go to this address: http://www.google.com/alerts

Put your desired search terms (keywords), e.g: domain names

Decide the type of the information you want, e.g: news. blogs, web, comprehensive, video or groups

Set the frequency of the alerts, e.g: as-it-happens, once a day or once a week

Key in the email address you want the information to be sent to

For me, the settings are:

a. Search Terms = Domain Names

b. Type = Comprehensive

c. How often  = Once a Day

d. Your email = your email address

Below is the example of the daily Alerts sent to my email address

You can also use this tool to provide you with other topics that interest you. Just play around with the keywords to get the information you want to see (you can set more than one Alerts and put several keywords for each Alerts setting)
