I have standing google alerts set up for: -Zac Cohn -Zachary Cohn -parkour -freerunning And then various other temporary ones for shorter-term projects. I used to post news daily to the largest parkour website on the web, and google alerts were INVALUABLE for finding out about things going on all across the world and reporting on them. While I was working with that site, we were THE place for news about parkour, and we almost always had it before anyone else. I left the site after some not-so-great experiences with management, and now the site is lucky to get one update a week on something pretty irrelevant or out of date. I felt pretty bad leaving, but it almost hurt more to see this system and resource that I had redesigned, repurposed, and really revolutionized (in the parkour world) fall to ruin and disuse. But long story short - google alerts were INVALUABLE. Even though I don't update the news on that site anymore, I still have this awesome spy-network that reports back to me.
