Google has a very handy tool called Google Alerts. I've used them for years to track the job market, what's being said about me, Job-Hunt.org, and other things and issues that I want to track, and many other things. Can be overwhelming, but usually they are just very useful.
They are easy to set up and easy to manage. For information on how to set them up and use them, see the article I just completed about using Google Alerts on Job-Hunt.
Happy New Year!
I would also suggest using Postling for Twitter alerts. Google stopped putting twitter messages in its search results a few months back, so if you're using only google alerts, you may be missing important tweets that mention your or job opportunities near you. I'm sure there are a few other services available for this, but I personally use postling.
