Google Reader – An Indispensable Social Media Tool Pt.2 – Adding Google Alerts

Last week in part 1 we showed you how to set up Google reader, how to import blog feeds and how to add them to folders.

This week we show you how you can easily import Google Alerts to your Reader.  Google alerts are a fantastic tool for monitoring mentions of you, your brand/business name and industry trends.  However they can end up clogging up your inbox if you send them to your email account.  Bringing them into Google Reader makes them far easier to scan through allowing you to quickly find the important information.
