Scum Sells Cheat Sheets
Here’s the story. Dave Child has created some great cheat sheets (e.g., World of Warcraft, CSS and mod_rewrite). The cheat sheets are totally free. Kevin Futter found out that someone was selling the cheat sheets on eBay, without permission. Ouch.
Rather than simply fire off invectives, I thought about this for a few minutes. I realized this is an important illustration of the need for reputation management. I quickly collected my thoughts and posted a comment on Dave’s site.
Do you wish you knew what other people what saying about you on the web? Do you wish you had an easy way to keep track of your content on the web, to ensure that other folks aren’t stealing your thoughts? Do you wish that you had a way to clearly understand your reputation and influence on the web?
As far as I know, there aren’t good tools to do this. I’ll just say that I think this is a wonderful business opportunity. I’ve got some ideas on how I’d engineer the solution but I can’t give everything away for free, right? ;-)

Actually, Dave should have been selling them one way or another to eliminate this kind of scenario. Someone has noticed that these great sheets aren’t for sale anywhere and started selling them. It is not a point of making money, it’s a point of not getting any competitors.
Wonder if Dave can indeed get some cash from the unauthorized seller, too.

I would surly like to get an idea of my reputation, influence and what is being said about me on the web.
btw I once used a tool that can check parts of text from your a page on your website and find if anyone is using that text, what I didnt like about this tool is that your content has to be online somewhere, it would be great if the tool can accept text directly and see if its being used on a website.

Are you in search of a good amplifier? Then I would suggest you check out the JL car audio 500/1 amplifier. This
amplifier is very efficient and will give little, if any, reason to worry. Here is something more about this
product.
It is a class D amplifier. What does this mean? It means that it belongs to the class of highly efficient amplifiers
that are up to 90% power efficient. This is a great advantage as it means your battery will not be easily run down.
It makes the most efficient use of power when compared to other amplifier classes. And for your car, this is an
invaluable feature.
