Invitations to events
The diplomatic world is also characterized by many official events (lunches, dinners, cocktail, galas, Celebrations of National Days, etc). In many case the invitations for these events need to be formal and therefore they use the traditional means (invitation card sent by mail or delivered by hand).
There are other occasions (such as cultural events, or other less formal events) when many people are invited, where some interactive services can be useful to launch and track the whole procedure of invitations.
One good example is the free service "evite"

Keeping track of information

Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic. Google Alerts allow to monitor specific news or stories or to get the latest on a person or event. Every time that Google alert detects a new page with the term that has been indicated (for example the name of your Minister or the name of your dossier). The more specific the term will be, the less you will get "false positive" indications.
