Todays RepuTrace Adventures as We Search For The Blog Eagle

Well first, doing our whirl around the Internet, came across another blog where someone is not happy with a RepuTrace client harrassing and stalking one of their blogs:

Another harrassed blogger is http://morfmunt.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!5147942F2A9EB812!961.entry

Reputrace.com has a problem with one of my Blogs (called the Strike is Over), they’ve hit it eight times in the past three days, I’m still trying to figure out which party is objecting? Someone go back and read and see if I may have slandered anyone with a lie, I can't really tell, because I'm too close to the words (having written them).

Thought next, we would share some of the ISP information we have gleened from our visitors (RepuTrace) North of the border...yes, that is Canada, home of RepuTrace.

207.245.21.143 http://www.prworks.ca/index.php/calling-all-testicle-challenged-pr-snoops-snakes-and-bullies/ Interesting...like RepuTrace, this guy also has a Canadian ISP...could he be a RepuTrace client/user...you all can decide that.

207.245.21.191 http://www.prworks.ca/index.php/calling-all-testicle-challenged-pr-snoops-snakes-and-bullies/ Interesting...like RepuTrace, this guy also has a Canadian ISP...could he be a RepuTrace client/user...you all can decide that. That's right, same information as the above floating ISP number.

66.244.255.46 router1.toronto.openminds.ca

216.249.14.59.tor.pathcom.com (link says site under construction.)

66.175.110-65.q9.net The Q9 network, a high performance network that connects directly to all major Internet backbones, effectively placing customer web servers at the core of the Internet. With over 30 Internet connections, Internet traffic is automatically routed around network outages to ensure web sites co-located with Q9 always have the fastest response times available.

Meanwhile, guess RepuTrace was not happy that I successfully followed one of thier hits on me back to them, and successfully used screen capture to see and view what they see, as they now have me BLOCKED...Oh, I am so DEPRESSED....NOT. Maybe for giggles I'll contact them for one of their free demo's.

RepuTrace...Inside The Belly Of The Beast

So, you go check your stats one day, and THERE IT IS, the beast from the black lagoon
there in your list, away from everything else on the list, RepuTrace! So, for those wondering what part of a Reputrace tracker/stalker does, here is a CLUE. It's a glorified search engine! In the case of their tracking me for instance, the search took 10 seconds, and returned 216 links to various and assorted sites and blogs that were tagged RepuTrace...Technorati does a better job, and from what I can tell, at a far CHEAPER PRICE. Here is one of the HITS that came up for my site.

Seems Work Blogging Had Something To Say As Well About RepuTrace

Just a suggestion, but maybe RepuTrace should learn that citizens don't like NSA needlessly spying on us, so we damn sure don't like private companies doing it. Found the item below over on Work Blogging.

RepuTrace(TM) - The Corporate Security Intelligence Tool for small to large businesses monitors internal and external threats on blogs, forums,message boards, chat rooms, consumer sites, videos and images.

http://www.reputrace.com/.

"Should you suspect an unsatisfied customer is spreading malcontent about your company, use CoreX to zero in on Web-based discussion forums. You can even monitor developments within your workforce in the event you have difficulties with disgruntled employees or just want to ensure your personnel are generally happy at work.

"RepuTrace also claims to be able to:

a) Find out what people are saying on blogs and chatrooms about a particular company or developments affecting a particular industry. But can they do dialogue?
b) Search all forms of consumer conversation connected with a company, product or brand to ensure it is perceived as desired. How about suggesting to those companies, less spying, and more quality in their products and services?
c) Track media outlets of all sizes and kinds to monitor specific news and information to give you a unique, global perspective.

Green Nuclear Butterfly Snooped by RepuTrace

To facts here:

1. Seems that Green Nuclear Butterfly has been visited by the sinister RepuTrace beast, just in the past week.

2. How successful can RepuTrace and CoreX actually be, if one lone blogger attacked just a week ago is already on the top of page 2 when you Google RepuTrace?
