NEWS: Look Who's Lurking

On the other hand, can't you just see someone running up to their boss saying "OMG YOUL NEVAR BELEIVE TEH PIX OF LINZY I JUST SAW ON TEH INTERNETS!!!"

i didnt even think about checking the results.... 647,000 ....damn, i only know about 3-5 that are really about me. those other guys with my name are busy.

i gotta try "images" next.

no pictures of me. but searched my previous alias (i changed it today). a pic & a quote came up on Clio's page.

I don't show up at all if searched on the internet.
I do, however, have the exact same name as a relatively famous (apparently) Czech artist. Weird.

I'm a pastor AND a science fiction author!

Errr..Um...one tip: Simply googling your name isn't enough to narrow down results the same way that the pros can do it.

Try googling your name with your city or your line of work. Something like:

"Big Brother" +Cleveland

"Big Brother" +"doubleplus good"

Try a Yahoo search. I know, I know - it shouldn't be different. But try it.

HAHA... exactly!

I am invisible on the net, as a bunch of far more famous people also have my name. But goddamn people, have you no shame? Don't air your business in publicly accessible parts of the internet.

My job has checked potential hires' Myspace pages, and on several occasions, NOT hired people (and I believe, even fired one) because of the content. These were cases of people showing an extreme lack of brainpower: without going into too much detail, it was akin to posting pics of yourself wearing nothing but your uniform shirt.

A little common sense goes a long way in any networking site.

thats very impressive Father.

L. Ron?...is that you?

I googled a couple things. I'm on a lot more boards than I had realized,but that's mostly because it's not me.

I did get a comment from this girl.

I read about a guy losing his job as a Busweiser sales rep when his boss saw a pic on the web of him drinking MGD.
