Google yourself

My real self

oh, if we're talking about real me... I've found my facebook, myspace, a note about me in my grandma's obit, a few classmates.com listings, a note about me on RHPG's myspace, and something about me on Fenrus's facebook...
quite interesting

[Rine]

Yes, I have. Two results are for classmates.com...two results are from when my comments were published on bbc.com (albeit, they were changed significantly or my name was paired with the wrong comment at least once.) One result from a petition.

I get paranoid about these things...I don't want my name popping up all over the place. Ugh, but my general internet handles pop up everywhere, same with my e-mail addresses. I can't believe half the crap I've signed up and I don't even remember why I did.

I came up #1 on a google search for my full name as:
11th great-grandson of Wolphert Gerretse Van Kouwenhoven, one of the founders of New Amsterdam in 1625.

The first page of hits for my married name are all random people I don't know, but both my first and last names are common enough that I'm not surprised there are multiple others with the same combo.

Using my maiden name instead of my married, I actually get four legitimate hits on the first page, one of which is an old Poetry.com entry from when I was in high school. The other three are art-related. Now to figure out how to get my actual art site to come up on the first page of a Google search....

Apparently i'm an Australian Politician...other than that i get links about myself from my rowing days.

Most of my Google hits are me, virtually all for things that I've written in the past. The first picture under my name, however, is a guitar player for a band in Pennsylvania. His middle name is my last name.

I did find another "me" in California and one who's a public works manager in New South Wales.

Amusingly, my last name is the same as a major corporation. My wife's first name is Sue. So if I Google her, I get news stories about people wanting to sue <major corporation>.

I'm unique, currently I show up on Facebook, a links page including a link to a site that no longer exists, a picture I drew that's in the Museum of Children's Art, some South Australian Road Runners' Club event write-ups, and some art projects that my brother has worked on with people who share my first name.

My wife's maiden name comes up with a real estate agent in San Francisco, we found that out last year when she had the wrong email address on her website and we kept getting emails asking about apartments for rent.

googling my names I use online (like logings or just my real name) frequently turn up me. Not all are me, but with my actual name -- I show up on google and other search engines at the #1/2 position. Of course having a domain name that is my name, with my name plastered on it and other things.... it was bound to happen.

I've even used my username being googled to find website I've registered on before that I competely forgot about -- but they're not all me, as my initials are extremely common.

Put up lots of awesome content that people want to link to!

So, your real name is Richard Face?

Rule #1 broken! Dang it.

[edible_hat]

Rule #1 broken! Dang it.

even funnier, the high school he went to has a Richard Face Award for Academic Excellence. Imagine the hassles you'd get for winning the dick face award...

[Akasa]

According to google I'm a published scientist. I forget her field of expertese.

[Jester]

I have googled myself, yes.

Apparently I am a Miami judge, a British novelist, and/or a disgraced former president of a prestigious university. Among other things.

Well Damn Jester...you've been busy.

Some guy who was keeping track of his bike ride around America

A doctor in Charleston, SC

All I can find of myself is a phonebook listing.
