QOTD: Have you ever Googled yourself?

PanasonicYouth: 10/07/2008 10:20 AM
Wow. That sounds dirty.

Suggested by Carascene. The idea is simple: Have you ever looked up your full name or your regularly-used screen name on Google to see what comes up? Were you surprised and shocked or was it all things you knew were on the web?

Do you think it's creepy that people's web activity can be tracked?

"All those people Googling each other! It makes me uncomfortable!" - Ned Flanders

I've Googled myself many times, espiecally before turning in job applications or things for school. Buzznet is the first thing that pops up followed by this picture:

Yup, I have googled myself. Well, searched myself, cause I use yahoo, not google. Both my full name and my bn username appeared on yahoo's quick search assistant thingy, it creeped me out cause that means someone else had searched me. And I don't like that.

I have googled myself a few times before and I did again, just now.

Nothing ever comes up that is of interest, as I find other people not so interesting. I get military profiles rather often and students from the University of Life. Nothing major. I suppose this is good. I do not enjoy leaving a cyber-trail of my whereabouts to potential snoops.

nope...wait a sec while I google it. There was not much there....my name is too unusual. But rainvampre came up with just buzznet pages though =]

yup. i used to write a column for a website, so that's most of what came up. it helps if you have a fairly uncommon name. if your name if john smith, you're going to have a looooot of googling to do.

It IS creepy how you can track people over the internet.
If you google Laurasaurusrexx it comes up with my skyblog, then Buzznet :D

If you google image me it comes up with a picture of me. Then a picture of one of my friends... Then pictures of some things I think I remember commenting on on Buzznet.

IT IS CREEPY.

I have. Nothing interesting comes up, it's all stuff that I've put out there! No dramaz!
katiexlee: 10/07/2008 11:43 AM
I have. Nothing ever really comes up. If I search my screen name buzznet pages come up.

If I google myself i no hits that actually spells my name right....it isn't even like it's an abnormal name. Lol.

the either start with a 'C' not a 'K' or miss the last 'S' in my name so it's a complete fail that I am proud of... my name must be individual if google can't find it :P
