Ever Google your name and get REALLY freaked out by all of the pages and pages of stuff people can find out about you?

yes, and no... Thankfully I haven't done too many things online that i'm ashamed of..

Like my LinkedIn profile, some non-threatening/non-perv comments and all that good stuff.

@Sven: Yeah, I thought about that. Goodness. I should start to watch what I say more often.

Maybe even curse less? :(

Thing is, there's a lot of background noise since both my given name and the name I go by are pretty common.

Here's a tip: don't put your full name on your twitter profile! :D

We'll it's not that I'm ashamed of it, really... but you could google my name and find out what activities I was involved in as a Penn Undergrad, what t-shirts I've bought from Threadless, who my Twitter friends are, and which songs I like according to Last.fm.

It's just... to much.

it is kind of strainge. what service shows what shirts you bought from threadless.. i kind of want that! hah

haha.
i am the only person with my name in the universe. i gotta be careful!

I've been basically erased from Google by some 13 year old kite surfer.

@Giu: Hey, I just changed it. Thanks.

That's what scares me. I don't think of stupid shit like that.

Actually yeah, I don't use my real last name on anything, except for my real facebook. But I have almost NOTHING on facebook so I'm not worried really.

A site that I used to use a lot back in the day was REALLY REALLY googleable, to the point where I started spelling my name backwards. haha.

i'm in the same boat as corey

Yeah, but only because you can find this stupid website on there.

I'm super protective of using my first name last name on any websites. If I can control it at all, it's not going up there. So most of the stuff on me is old college writings, my work website, and some race results. Also, some "short hispanic woman" with my name has a blog, so she confuses things!

A lot of people have my name. Apparently I'm a veteran, a fire chief, an oil-rig worker, a pilot, and a black man.

On the other hand, if you search skipbreakfast....

I'm pretty much the only person in the world with my first and last name. so, whatever.

I have come to accept that my web-based mistakes in the 90's, 00's... and beyond will be with us all until the inevitable end of the internet / heat death of the universe.

I have one of the most common names ever, but I don't really use it very much on the internet, so I don't have much to worry about. It used to freak me out when I'd search for iceowl, but it seems that there are many other people and things on teh intarwebs called iceowl, so I guess I don't have that to worry about much anymore either.

mm, yes. you can find out where i've been published, where i went to middle and high school, where i went to grad school, what my undergrad/grad research was in, where my photos are, AND all the stupid shit i've said all over the internet.

Long before you find any listings for me, you'll be reading about the singer from Korn, and then perhaps a bit about how it's also Q-Tip's real name.
