		<description>@Dara &amp; Elizabeth - I wrote a post a while back talking about monitoring your online identity through RSS feeds, google alerts, and other tools specifically for Higher Education, but it could also apply to other industries.  You can read the post here:  http://doteduguru.com/id98-monitor-institutes-online-identity.html</description>

		<description>Gilzow - great comment. I need to look into this.

Dara -  I pull a lot of RSS feeds from various searches and have it all go into a &#039;Butler Social Media&#039; folder in my Google Reader.  It&#039;s all pretty makeshift at this point.

As far as which blogs to comment on, I talked a little bit about the post I referenced above, but it&#039;s more of a gut feeling than anything.  By looking at the blog post, a) can I get a good feeling of the person or situation? b) Does this blog look like its intended for family only? And would my comment seem infringing? (It&#039;s amazing how many people set up blogs, etc. and realize it&#039;s available to anyone in the world) and c) will my comment or contribution help them?, among other factors.

Sometimes I preface my comment with &#039;found your blog on a Google Search&#039; to put that out there first.  Here&#039;s an example of that [music warning!]:

 http://laurascreativechaos.blogspot.com/2008/10/fall-sports.html

It&#039;s just more feeling it out and anticipating their reaction than anything.</description>

		<description>I had the same question as Elizabeth Kudner.  

Besides Google Alerts and monitoring Twitter, do you have anything else set up to monitor?  Does anyone use tracking software that they like?

Also Brad, how do you chose the blogs you comment on and what types of comments do you add?  Put another way, what is your strategy for the commenting on blogs?

Thanks!!</description>

		<description>You should also be asking why the application isnt set to be emailing the admin about application failures.  You should never have to rely on your customers to let you know when the application has failed.</description>
