Forum Reader Software - any good?

Hi,

I saw this in UK's Micro Mart. Its a programme which helps to monitor the activities of forums your a member of. Not totally sure how it works but it sounds like a good advancement if you use a number of forums.

Its currently in beta and free at the moment.

 

my question would be WHY?

i mean you go to forums to hang out, see what's going on, get inspired, and so on, so what would it be possible to have a bot keep track of that would do any of that for you, or how?

you know like if you were going into politics and it was all about maintaining some sort of immage or something, i guess it all depends on what kind of forums you hang out on and why, but i really just can't see it, or any point in the whole concept really.

Its probably targeted at people who use them for education or work purposes. I font know if you can track your friends posts also.
