Google Alerts and Twitter Experience

My recent experience with Google Alerts and Twitter has been very positive. I have always had a twitter account but I never became accustomed to using it. But through this exercise, I have learned that it not only user friendly but it is also a very helpful tool. I received a couple of alerts from Google with great links to websites. They were right on topic with what I asked it to alert me on. The sources were credible and they weren't blogs or forums. On twitter I began to follow Greenpeace and various other sustainability associations. Even though their tweets are not directly about sustainability, they mention great events they are hosting, and sometimes they even enlighten you on fun little quick facts. Google Alerts and Twitter are very essential tools to keep you updated and informed on what is happening in the world around you.Through these resources I have learned that sustainability is not only conserving but living at peace with earth.
