Saturday Night Fun - google yourself

Following Randy Seaver's Saturday night fun posted here. Randy tasked his readers with the following:

1) Google yourself at www.google.com. Put your first name, middle initial and last name, plus the name of your city or town in the Search box to see what other persons may have mentioned you online, or to see which blog aggregators are "collecting" you.

I put ["Ginger R Smith" "Raleigh"] into the Search box and received:


* Web: 71 matches (but only 18 when I scroll through them)

With ["Ginger Smith" "Raleigh"]:

* Web: 455 matches (but only 205 when you scroll through them)

2) Then go to the "Images," "Videos" and "News" links and see what they show.

I put ["Ginger R Smith" "Raleigh"] into the Search box and received:


Images:  Only one image of the profile picture I have posted to my twitter account
Videos: 0 matches
News: 0 matches

With ["Ginger Smith" "Raleigh"]:

Images: 70 results (mostly from my profile picture found in other people's facebook friends page)
Videos: 0 matches
News: 0 matches

3) Tell us about any surprises you found, either in your blog or in Comments to this post.

Most of the entries in google were for messages I posted to rootsweb message boards, mailing lists or USGenWeb pages.

One reference linked to a paper I co-authored that was presented at a tradeshow.
No references were made to either of my two blogs because evidently I do not use my middle initial on my blog profiles. Hmm...I might consider changing that.
 
Thanks Randy!
