Do you Google? Would you like to be automatically informed of relevant Google results that match a query you pre-define? Does tracking those Google results via RSS appeal to you?
Assuming the answers to these questions are "yes", then you need to use Google Alert. This service allows you to create RSS feeds and/or email notifications against your Google query results. Over time, you may also track new content which satisfies your query options. A basic account to use Google Alert is free.
I've created an updated Google Alert tutorial / screencast which reviews the basic features and demonstrates how to create an effective alert. I use this service to track competitors, vendors, technologies, etc.
