This is a neat trick that helps me stay on top of important news in the business that I'm in. I thought I'd share it with you. Although this really isn't an SEO thing, let's file this under the "strategy" side of what I do.
Go to www.google.com/alerts (if you don't have a google account yet, get one )
Set up a comprehensive search for a keyword to do with your area (like... "your city" real estate for example)
You can set up a few different alerts (up to 1000 as a matter of fact), then you'll get all the news that matters to you in your inbox.
It's a great way to know what people are saying (it'll search blogs as well) about things that are important to you (or how about what they're saying about you?)
It's also a great way to get new ideas for what to blog about, give it a try.
