After there have been services that allow to check (and possibly defend) your online reputation (an example being ReputationDefender.com), there are services that help yu register an account with a lot of them (example www.dandyid.org/beta/claimmyname).

Makes me think that what i would prefer to call the “web 2.0 name grapping” phenomenon, as described in a blog post by Sylvan von Stuppe and discussed in my work, is becoming real.

I just startet to register my name with a few of them … and keeping track of them using the above mentioned DandyID … but I am still not willing to pay someone to register them for me. Maybe that will change if the price drops below a $1/service

so long … Henrich
