    Oooh very clever!

    My results are boring. Top three are my linked in professional profile, a fundraising team page from when I climbed a mountain and the governors list from the school I'm on a governors board for. Very boring.

    I get quite a bit, which bugs me because it means anyone can look me up and creep my online presence. D:

    I do this regularly just to make sure I don't have anything out there that I wasn't aware of. Considering I have been using the same / similar profile names for about 10 years there's a lot there! My real name is rather devoid of activity however :P

    Sadly if google me get lot as in my last few jobs they have been very high profile within the industry I work (education IT) but to be honest that is what my job is 'brand me' etc so I expect a lot to come up if google my name or my username...

    If there is any doubt as to the status of my geekiness the returns on the Google search should exonerate me :P I think I counted at least 5 separate gaming sites, avatar pics, decorating pics (in game houses) and a really old signature that I had custom made for my 3 girls when I was still playing EQ.

    First thing that comes up when I google myself isn't me! Winner!! One of the things that comes up is actually my mother in law!

    From "30 Rock," iirc:
    Jack Donaghy: Tracy, do you ever Google yourself?

    Tracy Jordan: Sure, I Google myself, like when Angie is not in the mood, or I´m alone in an hotel.

    Jack: Tracy, you do know that Googling is looking yourself up in the Internet.

    Tracy: (pause)... I didn´t know that. That explains why Liz Lemmon was so cool the other day.

    (Flashback)

    Tracy: Hey Liz Lemmon, do you mind if I Google Myself in your office?

    Liz Lemmon: Sure Tracy.

    Tracy: Can I use your computer?

    Liz: How else are you gonna do it?

    I have a relativity unique first name and last name combo. what i get is work related items and way to many reviews I did of products on RPGnow.com. I hope no future employer ever Googles me for the latter issues. :D

    I have to remember when I google myself to NOT be logged in to my google account because then it brings up post I have made on G+.

    Now when I google myself when I am NOT logged in the first person popping up has my name but she is a photographer in LA. Sadly I have a very common Irish Name. It used be some basketball player in MI but she has since moved on.
