What do you get when you google your name?

[Martin]

Do you find anything relating to you specifically? Or is your name too general?

I have a pretty unique last name, so I found two results featuring me.
1. A guy I kinda knew in HS used a quote of mine as sig in a forum post. (I was perplexed at first, as I didn't know who he was. After I looked at his Info, I remembered knowing this guy in HS)
2. A project related page from my university, from 2 years ago (now offline, but still in the cache)


I also searched my mom's name (also unique) and found her graduate thesis.

 

[Wanescotting]

nothing really, just that someone in my family with the same name was in the civil war.

 

[oogabooga]

i get nothing of any value =\

 

[jtusa]

Nope, just a bunch of results of a certain actor that has a similar name that I despise, because whenever I say my name to people they say his name back, as if they made a funny that I've never heard before. :roll:

 

[Mojoed]

Absolutely nada for me.

 

[bigj3347]

616,000 results found. Didn't see anything about me till the 6th page of google results. I guess I have a pretty common asian last name

 

[So]

I find a bunch of stuff about some guy with my name who died on 9/11, nothing else.

 

[Trygve]

Only 3460 matches. Out of the first hundred listed, all of them are about me specifically.

I have the same last name... and I'm #1 on MSN Beta and #2 on Yahoo!

But Google refuses to crawl my site for some reason so I'm not even listed anywhere remotely close to the first few pages there (anyone know why?)

 

[imported_KirbsAw]

I get some guy's blog.

[Tom]

my first and last name are extremely common, but when I include my middle name i only get one result. (and it isn't me)

 

[Valhalla1]

I only get 1,660,000 results on my name. narrow it down: "First Last" +"Town name" and I get 77 results, about 20 or so about me, mostly about my high school football days or academic stuff

[BigJ]

Found links for me being on my football team's roster, for being an impact player on the team, for interning at Northrop Grumman, and being on HardOCP.

 

[konakona]

my heatware and AT information appear on the first page, out of 4400 results. now, the search result with a space in the appropriate place changes it to 1,080,000 results

 

[The J]

I get absolutely nothing.

 

[mobobuff]

Lots of stuff about a NASCAR driver that I've never heard of before. And then some University page about a student in Iowa.

 

[quizzelsnatch]

Cross Country results of mine...

 

[jadinolf]

Two things, one from Anandtech and the other from Reseller Ratings.

[CanOWorms]

I get a lot of links to sites dedicated to siamese twin midgets shaving mules. It's pretty graphic.

 

[UglyCasanova]

I get nothing. When I put in my name plus my city and state the only thing I get is my grandma's obituary. I'm a pretty famous feller.
