Are you on the Google?

[vincegamer]

This topic came up over at Wyrd and I figured it would be better suited here.


So, when you \"google\" your own name, what comes up?

If you want to keep your anonymity, you don\'t need to give specifics.
For instance, if I google my name I get a lot of pages on an ethnologist who has my first and last name but the last name has a hyphenated second part.
I also get the Hotel St. Vincent because the location matches my name.
Finally there is stuff actually about me - about a paper I published a few years ago.

There\'s a very interesting article on a Mike Howell who died in the WTC on 9/11. All the IT systems that he was responsible for had faultless failover to off-site redundancies that day. Tragic and amazing.

He had quite a hit apparently, called Swing Your Daddy.

 

[Modderrhu]

Swing Your Daddy indeed. You do realise that wiccanpony trolls these pages?

A search for my name returns results all about me. No-one else, just me. Some stuff from many years ago to do with marine aquaria.

 

[vincegamer]

anonymity be damned

Heh.
I didn\'t try an image search before.
When I do, the first thing that comes up is my Skater Dude miniature from the VIC-9 contest (also available on CMON - hint hint).
Some reason I can\'t follow the image to the source site though.

Hey! and there\'s also a link to a Denis Mize tribute site showing my Amazon Girl Scout. I forgot I\'d sent that to them.

[Talonicus]

umm first two results are about me. Then lots of twaddle.

 

[matty1001]

Also Vince is you use the force search thingy e.g. \"Matthew Braid\", with your name on image search, that Amazon Scout Girl is the first image up.

Unfortunately, when I look for myself I get quite a lot of myself in return. Too many in fact, privacy be damned but it is sometimes rather disconcerting.
