[TuffGirl]

<< My home phone is listed .(under my moms name) >>



Ditto.

 

[Amused]

Nope. Which is the reason I don;t get any phone spam.

You can have yourselves removed from those databases, you know.

Found me and my house with my main phone #, but did not find anything for my second number that I use for fax and dial-up when my satellite connection goes down.

I don't care though, any shred of my privacy remaining was lost when I got online in 1994 and started signing up for stuff.

found my mom, but didn't find me. i did find out why i keep on getting wrong numbers for a furniture company though... turns out they're in a neighboring area code with the same 7 digits..

Same here. It found me but shows me living across the river in a city I have never lived in.

 

[fatalbert]

nothing, not my home phone or my college phone.

well my college phone came up with a # at a different area code for a company

 

[BigJohnKC]

didn't find me, no matter what format I used for the number

 

[dman]

FYI

It didn't find me, yet. Haven't had the number that long though, I don't believe it's been published in a phone book yet.

 

[fooshkee]

found me..... ahhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[AlwaysWong]

I just have to say that Google is the best search engine around nowadays. I used to be a big AltaVista fan, but now, they suck.

 

[DanFungus]

found me on 1 phone number, but not the other 2

 

[MWink]

Google found me (all 4 numbers).

 

[jpsj82]

nope didn't find me, but i am non-pub and non-listed so i expected that.

What's really fun is if you ever posted to a USENET group, search for the email address that you posted. I found old posts dating back to 1995 on Google. Kind of creepy when you think about it.

edit: i just moved but it had my old number.

 

[bjb86s]

Cool! A search for my first and last name turns up my webpage on the first results page.

My e-mail too...

 

[Rallispec]

i typed in my cell phone number and it came wiith a link going to a professor at virginia tech.. Paul Bolstad.

thats not me. just some guy who thinks he can have the same phone number as me. what a tool. i feel used.

 

[Rallispec]

and if you search for my user name Rallispec, my anandtech user profile is the 4th result

 

[docmanhattan]

I went to college and rowed with a guy named Paul Bolstad. weird.

edit: that's not him.

 

[Valhalla1]

found my home # but not my cell

 

[Pastfinder]

Ah, free at last, free at last...

4 numbers at 3 address's in 2 states
1 showed only the city.
1 missed by about 100 ft(wrong side of street).
1 was a BULLSEYE.( If this map was used for targeting you could take me out with a spitball)
