8 Tools to Track Your Footprints on the Web
Last week we looked at how easy it is to leave footprints on the Web; today we'll show you how easy it is to track them.
Although search engines provide a great starting point when you're searching for someone online, with all of the new social sites that have popped up over the past few years, they're often just not enough.
In our recent State of Blog Search 2009 post we discussed the various reasons you may choose to use any or all of the following blog search tools: Technorati, Google Blog Search, Ice Rocket, Ask.com Blogsearch, and FriendFeed.
While these blog search engines are great to fill specific needs, they're also another great place to look for your footprints on the Web.
However, you can drill down even more.
Part of Nielsen-Online, BlogPulse highlights the top trends in the blogosphere and is mostly used to determine the hottest topics on the Web and how they got to be that way. But, its value as a personal monitoring tool can not be disregarded. Search for your name then grab the RSS feed to see who is talking about you and what they're saying.
