Probably Google Alerts. It's rather niche but people who use it absolutely rely on it. But the VC-funded Mention seems poised to take that one.

Google Alerts is a good candidate. Pardon anecdotal evidence, but the people in my circles who rely on it are executives who watch for their own names, or brand managers who watch for coverage of their company.

This information is very valuable and I'm sure a good service could charge a nice premium.

I've received some deliverables from a marketing team which uses the following service for just such a purpose (at a nice premium) @ https://www.meltwater.com/products/meltwater-news/online-med...

I have been using warble.co recently, which does alerts for twitter
