Subject: BS: Ego-Surfing revisited
Some of you may remember the Ego-Surfing Thread some time ago, concerning the narcissistic practice of typing your own name into the Google search box and seeing what came spewing out.

A variation of this is to type your Mudcat name followed by .com (and preceded by www., obviously) into your browser window to find out if you have your own website.

I have to confess shamefacedly that there does not appear to be a murraymacleod.com, but Catspaw, Ebbie, BillD, and Gargoyle ( four selected at random) all have their own sites. Max and Kendall both have one coming online shortly.

Oh yes, and GUEST also has a site ....

Personally, I am far too busy to bother with such trivialities, but it might be amusing if those of you with nothing better to do could report back with any amusing discoveries.

HINT: if .com doesn't yield any results, try .net, .org, , or any of the international suffixes. At the very least, you are bound to come up with a porno site if you try .de.
