Googling

[never2amazing]

Was it just curiosity?

I voted never, but mostly b/c I have no idea what most of your real names are. I'm not on FB (so not in the FB group). I'm sure it would not be that hard to find out but I kind of like the psuedo-anonymity of the whole affair

[ct]

its honestly never occured to me to do it. I have looked some folks up on whitepages.com so i could mail them stuff.

[thiswillbe]

I haven't, but now you've gotten me curious as to what I'd find if I did.

Like CT, I did to get someone's address.

I can tell you what you find if you Google me. 1 article where I was quoted in the paper and my FB page. Whoo hoo.

Does googling addresses count? Like I know CT's address by heart except for her zip code, so I'll type in the first part and let google fill in the zip.

TWB - I've googled you. When N2A gave a shout out for you being quoted on tv, I totally went and looked up your research. That was after we had met in person so I didn't think it was that creepy. Andplusso, I think your line of work is interesting.

[never2amazing]

googling addresses does not count :-)

There are two more famous versions of me: A yoga instructor who is all over the web, and a woman in England who beat an old man to death on the street. So if you Google me, just know that I am not either of those people!

Along these lines, I should perhaps say: I am NOT a porn star.

I tried to Google TWB when you mentioned her research got press coverage, but I failed...possibly because I'm STILL confused about what TWB's real name is. But I'm a research nerd, not a stalker!

[seattlekari]

I'm not on FB, yet, so I don't know most of your names, well last names anyway. And it didn't really occur to me to be necessary, after all, I'm not going to date you.

[kershnic]

I also googled TWB for the same reason as everybody else. :-D

If you google me you get references to my wife's twitter account and a congratulations on a friend's blog regarding our marriage. If you google me under my maiden name you get thousands of results regarding people who are not me and about 2 results that are me - you can choose randomly which are correct.

[hlke]

So if you Google me...that's me and only me. I once was interviewing a job candidate and she busted out knowledge about me she could only have had by Googling me...I was so weirded out. Frankly, it's creepy how big a web footprint I have.

[joyseattle]

I said never. But, technically that's a lie as I google myself periodically to see what's up.

[thiswillbe]

I am seriously LOLing at all the googling me! I guess I should follow Joy's lead and see what the interwebz has to say about me!

But you agree that it wasn't stalker-ish of me since we had already met in person, right?

Oh yeah, definitely not stalker-ish. Of any of you, I'd say, since I feel like I "know" you all.

Thank you for validating my feelings! lol!
