Yes, although it's been a bit finiky of late.  I set alerts for all my listings too.  Used this frequently in my corporate days.

 

Mention.com is also a good site for this, but it only hits social media (which is something Google Alerts is not great at getting).

Hi Inna -- yes, I do but with my common name I receive a lot of information about a European football(as Dick Greenberg tells me the "real football") player and an Illinois political guy masquerading under "my name".    

PS -- I hope you had a great trip -- your Facebook photos certainly show you looking relaxed and refreshed.

Since setting up Google alerts is pretty easy, yes I have mine set up for my name.  But I don't think it works very well.  Once in awhile I'll get an alert on a blog post I've written but I'd think I'd get an alert each and every time I post something, and that doesn't happen.
