It was only a matter of time before "surveillance as a service" would come along. Your boss monitoring your social web activity is one thing, but way about even less desirable stalkers?

A company called Teneros demonstrated a new software-as-a-service product called Social Sentry that automates the process of examining employee activity on social networking sites.

The point isn't necessarily to see how much time employees are spending on Facebook and Twitter while they're supposed to be working. Rather, the software monitors all public social networking activity in case employees reveal confidential information or make statements that could be damaging to the company's brand.

"The exponential growth of social networking tools is posing new threats to businesses every day," said Bill Petro, Teneros vice president of technology. The service will be available next month.
