Hire An App To Protect Your Facebook Reputation

A new service called Reppler aims to protect your Facebook rep from, well, your own stupidity. I give it an A for effort and a B- for execution.

Got a bad rep on Facebook? Remember, you brought this upon yourself. Luckily for you, services like Reppler can help identify the truly embarrassing stuff and hide it away from college recruiters, future or current employers, legal authorities and potential mates.
Install the Reppler Facebook app, and it can scan your wall and/or your news feed, identify how you sound to the world at large, and flag posts that might later come back to bite you. It will highlight any potentially dangerous links to malware or spammy sites that appear in your News Feed.
It also displays neat stats about which words show up most frequently on your wall, where most of your Facebook content comes from, and which kinds of things you tend to "Like" most.
Think of Reppler as a tech-savvy mom, wagging her finger at the things you do and say on Facebook you know you probably should not.
