This paper describes the starting points of how to design and build tools to help individual users track and monitor their presence on the web from the standpoints of individual privacy and identity monitoring. It concludes with an overview technological barriers and possible solutions for their resolution. Our design models represent facets of identity by tracking their mentions in text.
