How do you keep track of growing dividends?

Actually my question was on the opposite side of things and that is, to know when/if a company reduced/cancelled its dividend

I know what you mean about the email. Subscribe to the AAPL emails and you'll be inundated. I did for a couple weeks and finally just cancelled all the SA emails altogether.

I have a sheet in my spreadsheet with columns by month for each company. That calculates the amount expected for the respective month and how many shares are expected to be added. As to the increases, like Kerim, I either watch for it here, peruse the SA dividend announcements or sometimes it's announced in the Yahoo portfolio pages. I don't really pay too much attention unless I see a cut. I check the actual % increases on the CCC spreadsheet when I am doing research.
