Did you know that if you actually put a common name like “littlenick” people can find you on google?

But you have to put a name that people can actually type, not jibberish or things that don’t make sense. I was googling littlenick and found myself and Soulrising.

Help.com comes up on a lot of google searches, makes you think that maybe we should all be careful about what we say here, lol.

Did anybody ever see the movie with Steve Martin “The Jerk?” About the time he was so anxiously waiting for the telephone book to see his name in it? He yelled, “I am somebody” when he found his name in it. I feel the same way now!

I can’t google my real name. It’s far too common and nothing comes up with the real me in it.

I posted about this a while back. http://help.com/post/158517-your-user…

I chose a unique username, but now I think for the sake of privacy it would have been better to choose a common one. With 154,000 mumsthewords out there, someone would have a lot of trouble figuring out which one you are.

Links to our shout trails even come up in search engines.

Entertaining story in relation to this post.

One of my friends was proving this point that the common names we use on the internet can be uses to find out lots of information about a person. He asked each of us for our e-mail addresses and googled the main part of it. Each of our social networking profiles appeared, until we came to the last guy. We found an ad which he posted looking for a girl to date in his area that described himself as “tall, dark and supposedly handsome”. He hasn’t lived it down to this day.
