Are Blogs the Only Way to Discover News?

Over at SEOcritique.com Tom Schmitz asked a few search marketers to reveal some the alternative ways they discover news and tips.
Asking bloggers to share their tips, is a great way to put together a post that will attract others, and Tom does well to get feedback from Danny Sullivan, Rand Fishkin, Neil Patel, Todd Malicoat, Barry Schwartz and myself.
Here’s a couple that I shared…
- I monitor the job classifieds sites to understand who’s hiring. This often gives good clues about new products or services and works well with large companies such as Google.
- I also track a lot of industry keywords in different search engines. For example, if Technorati finds a new blog post that matches the phrase “search engineâ€, I’ll know about it.
How do you find your news, outside of blogs?

I like Google Alerts and CNN Breaking News for monitoring competitors and staying up on current events (outside the internet marketing world). I am still a big fan of email so i prefer to scan emails rather than RSS feeds in a reader.

I like to use forums and blog comments to find tips and news for posts. I check on experts comments on specific fields.

I set up RSS feeds on Google News, Serph, Digg etc for all my keywords and view it all in Netvibes.

I use google alers and the rss feeds from google news. I’m also trying to use yahoo pipes to do a better job on that.
