Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately?
I presume that people know that in order to get one's complete name, the best way is to put it in quotes - "Fred Flintstone" instead of Fred Flintstone.


But wow, what an interesting exercise! I'm working very hard on 'search engine optimization' and learning all the current tricks to getting the search engines to 'notice' a specific page or site -- but it didn't occur to me to "google" myself before now (BTW - 'to google' is fast becoming an accepted word in the English language.)

Here is a list of the genuine things that pertain to me that I'm listed under:

-3 different Web sites (which I own and manage)
-a meeting I attended in 2003 and some postings on a list that I didn't think was public
-some of my music lists on Amazon
-another music list I'm on
-Folk festival stuff I'm involved with or was involved with
-registrar for this year's getaway
-various affiliate marketing listings
-comment I posted on my son's school newsletter a couple years ago
-listed as staff at a school I taught at for awhile
-listed as a sponsor for a school fundraiser

and then there are lots of people with my name who aren't me but who do interesting things.

Kewl and weird and spooky and fascinating...

Peace,
