“Wow, I didn’t even know I had a profile on that site!”

The other day my good friend Tim Brennan was telling me about a cool way he used Rapleaf to manage his online information. Tim is a power Facebook user, and he forgot that he had an old MySpace profile which he no longer used anymore. He also had incorrect information on his MySpace page – he moved last year to a new town.

When Tim searched himself on Rapleaf, his profile showed the link to his old MySpace page that he previously forgot about. At that point, it was an easy move to sign back into MySpace and close his account. After all, he no longer used it and it also contained outdated information. Why would he want anyone to see it? For Tim, online reputation management is especially important as he begins a career search during his senior year at Babson. Potential employers may be searching social networks and the web to learn more about him before hiring.

Tim found Rapleaf simple and useful – it alerted him to his information online, and pointed him to the source of any incorrect or outdated information. . We’re psyched to see people use Rapleaf as a tool to learn where they have online information and better manage that info.
