Has anyone taken the time to Google their own name? Every once in awhile this exercise is passed around and I know several people who have been specifically the target of Google searches when seeking employment.
I think it’s interesting. I’m sure there’s something disturbing that I wish wasn’t emblazoned on the permanent pages of Google, but when you live in an internet generation, and have been active in internet circles for over 6 years, it’s quite a documentary of where you’ve come from and where you’ve been. It can also be quite a resume.
I googled for my own name today. 53,300 results. Hmmm.

I only came up with 195, but I guess that’s because we’re not all as prolific as you. Luckily I have a pretty unique name so they were almost all about me. Google Nick Ohrn.

Yeah… My name is unique too! I wish I could say 53k results were from a mixed bag, but no… they are all me, it would appear. I’m wondering now… do I really exist? Or am I simply a process made up by Google? I am Neo… I am the One…

My name is pretty unique. I can add my middle initial to get different results - nothing overly shocking thank goodness. I think that it’s important to google your name one in a while to see what’s out there.

The next step is see how well your name is associated with your site with egoSurf. My name fluctuates between 10 and 12 thousand ego points.

The advantage (or maybe disadvantage) of having such a unique name is that googling just my first name often brings me up as the first result…
I Google my name once a month or so, but I only ever see stuff that I’ve written… Having said that, my Google Juice is something of a potent potable if ever there was one!

Taking a brief “getting money together” break at the moment. Actually planning on hitting America next. Brazil for a year or so later in the year :p .
In-spite of having many people and places to visit, am still missing the US until it has a new regime…yep. I think there are enough other places to keep me going until sense rules again :)
