The proliferation of the blog has seen the free and easy flow of gossip, rumors, and oh yes scandal. With every body and their aunt laying claim to a blog of some sort or other, companies are on the lookout.
How many times have interns or secretaries or ruffled employees published unsavory details about their employers? Now Techrigy has developed SM2, a social media watchdog. SM2 crawls both the open web’s blogosphere and a company’s intranet to find out what is being said and by whom. To accomplish this, SM2 will offer a hosted service for blogs to integrate with blog search engines such as Technorati and Google. Companies will be able to keep track of what employees are writing. SM2 also tracks what other companies’ blogs and the public are saying.

Some Questions About Techrigy.com
