The program Backtype allows people to enter and search themselves. The program aggregates all comments from blogs and other commentary and bulletin sites. Anytime a person’s name appears in commentary the person will receive an alert. The alerts can be sent when the name is published, on a daily basis, or a weekly basis. Unlike Google alert, this program goes beyond names popping up on a website, it goes into the commentary subsites as well. You can punch in various names or spelling of names, just in case people misspell your last name. This would be a good way for teachers to protect their digital name against tech savvy students. Not only can the site serve as the eyes, it can also credit digital teachers for the comments and the blogs that they post. It tracks and compiles your comments into one site so that people can track and follow your randomly placed comments. Amongst the mass of blogs this device would help navigate through the endless amount of information available.
