As a result of reading a parent's post here on CC about using Googles for their family, I have Google alerts for my husband, kids, myself, S's college, and a couple of topics that deeply interest me.
I don't consider this stalking. In fact, these alerts let me know that a local TV station had posted a video about an activity that S had organized. We both were there for the taping, but neither of us remembered to turn on the TV report when it was aired. The video highlighted S, and at my suggestion, he sent a link to a scholarship program that he'd applied for. He got the scholarship, and I think the link may have helped.
I'm class secretary for my alma mater, and I routinely Google classmates to get info for the quarterly report that I do for the alum magazine.
