Monitoring Your Online Image

Monitoring Your Online Image Sure, youve heard of Google Alerts. In fact, Ive been using it for years to monitor my brand. But now Ive found something that I like even better. Its called Mention and it is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Here are three reasons why you need to jump on this bandwagon now! 1. It doesnt cost anything. So that is always a plus. 2. It monitors where your name appears out in cyberspaceif it pops up on a website no matter how obscure, Mention finds it. 3. It even will tell you if your name pops up on social networking sites! OK, I know I was only supposed to give you three reasons but here are a few more Think of how you could use this in your job search!? You could not only monitor your online image/brand by staying up-to-date on where your name appears in cyberspace but you can also monitor positions and new job openings as they get listed. (Does that mean you are one step ahead of the curve? I think so!) Another great feature is that you can login to the dashboard to see the list as it is constantly updated in real time OR even better you can have a daily e-mail sent to you that lists all the times youve been mentioned in the past 24 hours. Thats my favorite part. And just so you know, Im not getting any kickbacks for sharing this info its just my honest opinion about a pretty awesome website. Its definitely worth checking out.
