Remote monitoring tool for social networking activity

Awareness Technologies has expanded its WebWatcher monitoring tool for the social media platforms Facebook and MySpace.

WebWatcher allows users to install the software and then access it remotely from anywhere over the Internet.

The new features will allow users to remotely monitor the use of these popular sites and help concerned parents stay on top of the growing number of online threats that face children today – such as cyberbullying and online predators.

“As children reach the age where they begin to use social networking tools, they are extremely vulnerable. Without any safeguards in place, sites like Facebook and MySpace put kids at risk and impede parents who are trying to be mindful of their digital behaviors,” said Brad Miller, CEO and Chairman of Awareness Technologies.
