Protect Your Facebook Image Quickly and Easily

By now, you probably know that is very important to keep your Facebook profile looking professional. After all, whether you are looking for a job or you are gainfully employed, you must ensure that your Facebook profile is projecting a proper image. However, as keeping your Facebook profile can be difficult to do, there fortunately now is a free Facebook app available that can help you with this very task. Called Reppler and created by a former Vice-President of Cloud Services at AVG, this Facebook app can help manage your Facebook image.

According to Reppler, this Facebook app offers a social media monitoring service that keeps your “social reputation clean and safe”. Reppler monitors your profiles continuously to ensure that the image that you present to your friends and associates is a professional and positive one.

For instance, Reppler will inform you of any inappropriate content that is posted to your Facebook Wall or listed on your newsfeed. By inappropriate, Reppler refers to adult, alcohol and drug content – as well as any inappropriate language. Moreover, you can choose exactly what subject areas you would like to monitor - and how you would like to be notified - if inappropriate content is flagged.

Reppler also boasts of other helpful features that include:

• The ability to analyze content on your Facebook Wall to determine if the overall comments are neutral negative or positive. Reppler also monitors recent topic trends on your Wall - and where most of these posts are coming from. This app also analyzes the categories of Facebook pages that you “like” and analyzes when you use Facebook the most.

• ·The ability to notify you of any potential security and/or privacy risks on your Facebook account. For instance, the app will let you know what – if any – of your information can be viewed by the general public. Moreover, Reppler will notify you if any links on your Facebook profile are harmful; for instance, the app will let inform you if you have spam, malware, phishing and other scams on your profile. Once again, you can customize Reppler to determine what exactly the app should monitor - and how you should be contacted if something is amiss.

Overall, Reppler looks like a helpful tool for people with both privacy and security concerns on Facebook. What about you? Do you have Facebook image and/or security concerns?
