KATHMANDU, Aug 25: Google has introduced a new feature called ‘Stay in the loop’ that will alert users whenever their names will be mentioned on the internet.


This new alert service is an extension of Google Alerts service that has been around since 2003. 


With Google Alerts, users can create alerts on certain keywords and the service will send automatic email notifications to users when it finds any news or information that matches the keywords. Though it’s used heavily by tech savvy journalists, the service hasn’t found mainstream popularity among regular Google users. So, ‘Stay in the loop’ is a perfect strategy to rejuvenate interest in Google Alerts.
