StepRep Monitor Your Online Reputation

Thanks to Joel Busrlem at the future of Real Estate Marketing for his post today on 5 Ways to Managing Your OnLine Reputation. One of the new apps to do this is StepRep. (If you don't subscribe to this blog you are missing out).

Here is a short one and half minute YouTube video that will get you started with StepRep.

Although it is still in beta, I went and tried it out and you can see the new widget on my side bar. It searches the web for all the places you are mentioned and you have the opportunity to rate the information as Good, Bad, Irrelevant. If you rate it good, you can add it to your widget which it creates as you go through all the places you are mentioned.

Although I still love Google Alerts for instant results when I am mentioned in a post or online, I think this app is cool. You will notice I came up for Localism, Activerain and my outside blog. Also Joe Manausa's post on The Carnaval of Market Reports that he puts together each month for agents that want to participate.

I did find a post by Jay Ehert of the Marketing Spot blog where he had mentioned one of my posts here back in July. In light of all the social media sites we are joining it is important that we monitor our online presence.

Hey Missy!

Thanks for the post and information on StepRep. As an active social media user, I now want to make sure my "rep" is as positive as can be online. :-)

Take care and as always, I enjoy reading your posts.

Thanks for the helpful tips on how to monitor your on line reputation. I was on twitter and say you link so came over to real all about it.

Have a great day.

Missy-Thank you for some awesome information. I learn something new on AR everyday and certainly appreciate your insightful and helpful posts! Best to you in 2009!

Great info! I am going to check this out. I like all your side bar info too!

Thanks for stopping by this was fun to set up. I am responding via my new outside blog Ann Arbor Undressed, t see if it works.

Missy - This is great - is it the top stories gadget?

Thanks for mention Missy! We're working hard over here at MyFrontSteps and the early feedback on StepRep has been very positive. We're finding that a lot of alerts are coming our before the Google Alert is. Some things that you might not know yet: We save the results that we send so you won't get the same link twice. We also monitor social media spaces so you'll get results from places like twitter. We love feedback and we're working hard at the first round of improvements.

Is the link for StepRep correct? I went there to check it out but I don't think it is the right link.

This is so cool! Thanks for telling us about it

I hadn't checked the link Bill. No, that's not correct. The proper link is:

http://steprep.myfrontsteps.com

(would you adjust that in your post Missy? - Many, many thanks)

Thanks I changed it.

Missy The link to steprep didn't go through; is it a different one? Great ideas and thoughts. I enjoyed some of the other links, and they really did open my eyes in a lot of ways. Sincerely Tom Braatz

Missy - I'm confused. The widget - is it the "Top Stories" widget (right above the text message widget)? If so, it needs some size modification as its bigger than the sidebar. I remember the AG talk about StepRep sometime ago. Keep bringing the new toys to us!

Missy - Thanks for the information and yes, the link works now.

Visual always get my attention. I will install this enhancement, an appreciate your shout about it!

Thanks for the info Missy. I just tried to sign on and got a dreaded server error, perhaps the ACTIVE Rain bunch has clogged the StepRep server? I'll keep trying.

Missy you are so far ahead of the curve! It's a full time job just trying to keep up with you. (and Gassett) How nice of Jeff from MyFrontSteps to leave a comment. Will check it out - sounds like it has some really nice features.

Your Raleigh Realtors!

Thanks for the info Missy! Sounds worth investigating.

This looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. Definitely important to keep up on where you are popping up on the internet

Missy, I signed up and immediately there was all this information there! Amazing! I also have Google Alerts but this is faster to access. Thanks for letting us know about it!

I'm hooked on Google Alerts, but this one sounds even more in depth. Missy, once again, thank you for sharing your *finds* with us. I do appreciate it.

Thanks Missy this is really good stuff! I hope you are staying warm.

This is very cool. You are so good at this stuff! BTW, Caulk...I missy you! Where've you been?

LOL. Later in the rain~Deb

Missy, I'll have to check this out! I use Google alerts, and lately they have been including other blogs that mention me. But it takes a while for them to show up.

Just signed up!! Thanks again for sharing!!

Missy.. this is great... how do you find the time to find this stuff? Thanks for sharing this... just something else I need to keep up with. I still haven't even ventured out with friendfeed.. lol thanks

Missy...looks cool...added to my lengthy list of sites to check out!! Looking forward to meeting you in March at RETech South!

Missy,

Bookmarked for later (hubby is watching a movie right now). Thanks for assisting me with how to deal with internet leads. Calling on the phone (if they give a valid number) has proven highly successful.

Missy -- great tool, thanks for finding and sharing. I set it up, now will go back and read carefully to make sure am getting the most out of it!

Hi Missy,

Thanks for the great info. It's so tough to keep up with all this, thanks for the help.

Thom, looking forward to meeting you too.

Fran, yea I knew it would.

Drew, I use Naymz too.

Everyone, once you set this up, it will send you other notices when things come up. I made the widget smaller for my side bar.

Missy, you come up with the neatest stuff! I hope to investigate this later today. Thanks for the info.

Girl, you come up with some genius stuff! Cute video. I will go check it out.

Missy,
Thanks, we do need to keep track of where we are and how we are represented. I'm heading over to take a look.

Missy - This looks fabulous. Thanks for the heads up. Joel's great, isn't he?

Thanks Missy, I signed up!

It's impressive to see the amount of technology being implemented - I'm blown away & have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Missy - Thanks for the post. There's a sort of social aspect to StepRep as well. You can add people to your trusted list which gives them more points and ranks them higher on the list in their region. I have added you to my trusted list!
