Have you ever Googled yourself?

Or go around with a clipboard, interviewing the yachts: "On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your owners and how they take care of you? Do they make sure you get regular maintenance?"

That'd actually make for an interesting story idea :lol: Particularly with boats owned by celebs. I was just reading about the boat Orville Wright bought while vacationing in Canada for his summer home. Imagine the stories it could tell! :D
 
When I’ve ever Googled myself, most of the returns are for Thomas Hendricks the Vice President. Unless you put in some more details, you would never find me. There are a ton of Thomas Hendricks in the world.

"Oy, the time he tried putting wings on me! The other boats never let me hear the end of it."
 
I googled myself once and found an insane Trekkie who'd been repeatedly banned from here describing how he'd like to murder me on a fake memorial page for himself where he'd pretended to commit suicide, which was subsequently taken down.

Internet people.:lol:
 
I have an extremely rare first name and a last name that while not uncommon isn't that common either. I find some stuff about me: my election as student government president in college, my interests in Trek and other such stuff. A little about my father, for whom I am named. And another "me" born in 1825 whom I know to not be my grandfather, because his name was different.
 
I never have out of some dated fear that doing so will identify my computer as belonging to me. But Google knows it's me already, so there's probably no real harm. But, I still won't for the same reason I don't use my full name on Google, just initials...my parents were paranoid when I first got online, and I've absorbed and intensified their paranoia. ;)
 
I have a very uncommon first name and a very uncommon last name, so any google search for my full name will easily result in finding me. Some of those search results were unfavourable (i.e. some dumb shit I said as a teenager 15 years ago). Knowing that possible future employers might google me, I had to contact site admins to remove that shit.
