Have You Ever Googled Yourself?  |
|
 Have you ever Googled your real name? Or any of the user names or member names you use? You might be surprised at what you find.
Have you ever done a Google alert on yourself or someone about whom you wanted to keep track?
I first Googled my own name when I had written for a few web sites (for pay) about 9 years ago. Sure enough, my articles showed up. But I also discovered quite a few people with the exact same name. Oddly enough, each one was creative or artistic in some way - another writer, a sculptor, a painter. There was also one who was very involved in ministry and volunteer activities.
I have regular Google alerts on my sister, who is a sr. vice president for a large firm. Usually those alerts don't give me information on her. They'll be about some actor with the same last name or some minor sports figure.
But I did get an alert that was a great picture of her at a meeting in Japan. And just the other day an alert came in that was a large stock transfer she had made. She had no idea this would show up on the Internet!
So how about you? Have you Googled your real name or user names lately? Do you use the Google alert system?

My English name return nothing,

| 7. jtr115 (515) | 8 months ago |  The Google search of my name mainly turned up posts I made at other sites, online ads I've posted, and some of the race results of my father and older brother (both regularly participate in marathons.) Otherwise there were links to sites from relatives and non-relatives with my last name. I discovered it can be Italian or Hispanic.

8.  mehale (1197) | 8 months ago |  I have not actually tried this, though I will definitely have to now! You got my curiosity going. I am unfamiliar with the google alert system though; could you tell me a bit more about it?

| kenzie45230 (2469) | 8 months ago | Google alerts are email updates you can get about specific topics or people (or handles). You'll get web and news items about your topic or person of interest. You can ask to be notified daily, as an article appears, or once a week. | |

9.  leafgxu (469) | 8 months ago |  I am not a famous one in Interner so when I google my name I can't find my name on the first page. In the other pages I find them carefully and then I find my blog. That's all for me.

| 10. trkrgrl (19) | 8 months ago |  yeah, I've definitly googled my name before. it's a very unique name and I thought I was the only one with it, but low and behold I've found several people with my name, although I don't know if they were screen names or the peoples real name. It's interesting to do that every once in a while.:) I've never heard of the google alert system, but I'll check it out.:)
