How to listen in on all the conversations about you

You're in a room full of people. They're all talking. Some of them are talking about you; of those, some are extolling your greatness, while others are slandering you. Any given statement -- positive or negative -- can suddenly spread across the room and be perceived as the truth by most of the people there.

That's the way it is. Blogs, online forums, message boards, wikis -- people are hanging around and chatting. The good news is, you can listen to everyboday. You just have to know how. A great place to satrt is this article at Marketing Pilgrim: Online Reputation Monitoring Beginners Guide.

A lot there to get you in on the conversations. Your chance not only to know what's being said, but to do something about it.
