One thing I would say, Andrew, about Google alerts is that – depending on what your alerts are for – you will end up with a lot of “noise”. If you end up seeing a lot of “noise” in your inbox, the likelihood is that you will stop monitoring it and then you’ll be back at square one. I would suggest that you maybe think about a set of topics and themes that you are interested in and then keep on top of those (the FT and the Wall Street Journal have decent search functions). Also, I would recommend that you somehow try and use the information that you have gleaned by writing about them or discussing them because this will solidify your knowledge.
