Track Yourself "Stay In The Loop"

Google has rolled out a feature in Google Search that will notify the user whenever their name is mentioned on the web.

This feature called “Stay in the Loop” is capable of informing him/her via their Gmail ID as to where their name was searched for.

However, for one to use this feature, the user needs to be logged in to their Google ID and also allow the search engine to keep track of and save your web activities. Don’t worry, you have to activate it first.

On the Google homepage, a new widget can be seen at the bottom of the first page of search results that will help a user to easily set up a new Google Alert for new references to their name.
