So, I occasionally Google myself.

On the third page of my google results, there’s a link to a post here where someone referenced me by my full name.

But third page of google results? Wow. Antibox is a lot more …public… than I expected for a random forum with friends. Makes me wonder if I shouldn’t be a tad more careful what I say here.

that’s nerve-wracking

let’s refer to each other by secret code names

EDIT: I just Googled myself. Results in order:

1. A facebook profile whose picture is one girl licking another girl’s breast. In Bristol

2. Barry Shabaka Henley at IMDB, a large black fellow

3. A Welsh guy’s profile on Bebo. He is shaving his nipple

4. Link to my LJ. Fortunately it’s locked. OR NO IT’S NOT? MUST INVESTIGATE? odd

5. The Nick Lab o’ Neuroscience page with my name

Thank god for my generic, homonymous name.

Incidentally, if you google “artallen” the full first page of results has to do with my twitter account. There’s nothing about the Metblog, though. Bummer.

I am untraceable on the internet!

The first three results in a google search for me are me, the rest are other people as best I can tell:

1.) My LinkedIn account

2.) The Adam Kuglin Collection at Ridemagnetism.com (which is really the ERW collection)

3.) My bio on the ERW employee page

I’m surprised you’re surprised by this. Given that no login is required to access these pages, it’s VERY accessible to google’s crawlers.

Great rule of thumb: Everything on the internet is very public. When you post something anywhere, make sure you’re comfortable with it being tied to you.

Hehe… the level of accessibility to Google’s crawlers is HEEEEEWGE!
