Issue tracking in general and reputation tracking in particular is an important part of the Web 2.0 world.  If it's all about the conversation, then it's important to know when something of interest to you (like you) is being discussed.

Andy Beal has written up a good introduction to the concept, including resources on where to subscribe to search feeds for your keywords.  One resource he pointed to that I had never seen before was BoardTracker, a search engine across thousands of forums and bulletin boards.  RSS feeds included. 

Many of the other search resources he lists can be captured all at once using MonitorThis.  I would also add to the list that it's a good idea to watch how people tag your site in del.icio.us.  Unfortunately, though this bookmarklet does that well when clicked on, the del.icio.us RSS feed for my personal site's URL doesn't validate and can't be added to my feed reader.  Oh well, just one more thing that's broken about del.icio.us.

Anyone else have issue or reputation tracking suggestions?

Update: Steve Rubel (see yesterday's post on Walmart) will be doing a live chat Thursday at the Washington Post on just this topic.
