I feel, I'm one of the lucky ones with very few GAs, and I come across myself quite often:

Don't forget to look through the images after you Google yourself, you might be surprised!
Also, finding yourself in other peoples pictures and videos can be very enlightening. :-)

LinkedIn profile.
Over the years, I've found my name bring great respect and honor to many communities, my first GAs has been a junior high honor student, a long jumper and a 400 meter relay runner. After finding the wonders of Google Alerts, I've found another GA that is a JHS/HS football champ (#2), also a long jumper and hurdler, a basketball player, and interested in science and soil research (something I did as well in high school! However, I studied the viability of stocking trout along the Turtle Creek through researchers at IUP)!
What has your Google Alternate done today?
Thanks for reading,

The Friendster comment strikes a chord with me . . . I found my Friendster account from 2002 that I'd really love to delete. Sadly, I don't remember the log-in info, and the e-mail address I used to register is ages old (and no longer in use)! I keep wondering when they'll finally delete it due to inactivity.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is I have good hair in the picture I used as my profile icon. So, at least if it's going to be a historical snapshot of me in 2002, I look good! ;-)
For the longest time, my Friendster account was being bombarded with friend requests from Koren show girls. I finally forced myself to forget the e-mail address and password as not to be bothered with the daily e-mails and garbled English messages.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you've always had good hair. :-)
You are a lucky one. My main Google Alternatives are Lacey Lea Anderson, a murder victim, and Pamela Anderson. My blog has better search results then I do.... That's sad. :-(
