Ask and ye shall receive...

And we're supposed to be better than them? Can you imagine how much you'd find out about long-time TFers if someone parsed the comment database?

It's all out there. Nothing I can do about it now.

I Googled my own name last week and found out that I'm a well known world class gymnast. I have a great body but am probably gay. Oh, well.

I google myself very rarely, and I find almost nothing. Either I fly so far below the radar that I'm untraceable, or I have automatic internet Teflon.

It's all good.

If you know there's nothing about you online, or if there's nothing important or embarassing there, you won't be worried about it. The End.

Google loyalist?!

I actually found one of my posts on the forums [face_palm]

DrForrester: I Googled my own name last week and found out that I'm a well known world class gymnast. I have a great body but am probably gay. Oh, well.

Congrats! Lord of the Rings?

I am invisible to the internets..

And you think this is a bad thing...why?

Hi, I'm Todd Davis...

+1 for making me lol

I dont even have the internet, beat that.

Also, in the 25 years I've posted on BBSs and online, I have yet to use my own name...I use Fred Phelps instead. Cool huh?

I lost my last job because my boss saw something I said online at a game forum, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

> Where's a good facepalm when you need one?

In Subby's mom's "My documents" folder?

Yeah, I Googled myself. There are some reputable professionals with my name, and I guess there's a priest out there... I did however find my information on LinkedIn, which isn't so bad because I put it there, but there was another site called Naymz that collected the information without my permission, so I removed it. Thank you, Fark, for keeping me abreast about my presence on the internets.

As long as I don't find those darn naked pictures, I'll be happy.

/They don't exist.
//That I know of.

I'm sure that someone knowledgeable and determined enough could dig something up, but I try to volunteer as little as possible.

Gregory F. Stuart: I don't have a myspace. I don't have a facebook. In fact, if you type my name in, you won't find anything about me at all. My phone number isn't listed online, and neither is my address. The only information you could find about me online is a science fair I went to in high school. And I'm glad there's no information about me online.

My Creed:
Let's be honest: unlike most people, I will openly admit that I hate America.

I think Americans are quite possibly the stupidest people on the face of the Earth, and I believe that they deserve to suffer. I believe America deserves to be in ruins. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe America needs to become a fascist state where Americans are no longer citizens; instead, they will be slaves.

That's why I encourage everyone to Republican in 2008, because nothing else will get me any closer to my wishes.

Vote Republican: because Americans deserve it.

The only other person with my first and (odd Polish) last name is gainfully employed in the Yale Univ. drama dept. Me? Not so much. I wonder if my doppelganger googles me.

I'm sorry but now I'm really curious - what'd you say?

Submitters name is Wallace P. Davis. He works at a Wendys in Pasadena California. His address is 17518 N. 39th Drive, Pasadena California, 97444. His wife name is Alberta, and they have nine sons by the name of Steve, Abraham, Martin, Larry, Jeff, Qball, James, Grif, and Harry potter.
Three years ago Wallace was injured in a boating accident when a smallish boat was being towed around a corner, and it landed on him.
His wife Alberta is a immigrant from Japan whose father was Russian, and born in Australia.
He once had a weekend with Mother Teresa, where it is said she spoke for hours on end about how much she enjoyed the Goodyear tires she'd bought the preceding Thursday.
His social security number is 123412345. His credit card is a Visa 132412324123412341231521432.
No one knows this yet, but Wallace will die tragically in 15.2 minutes. He will be found in his home next weekend (by his family returning from their vacation to sub-saharan Africa) with a broken coffee pot in his lower rectum.

My name is a website that seems to be some type of news aggregate with an area to blog about the news, too. Hmmm.....
My fark name is also an Australian band.
Either way, nothing about me is out there.

I'm right here, subby!

I guarantee you that there is information about everyone online. It's called public records. Granted, one often has to pay for these records.

Excellent job demonstrating the importance of context and completeness.

Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's comin' to get me...

I'm not worried, but then, I don't have profiles on MySpace or Facebook.

DrForrester: I Googled my own name last week and found out that I'm a well known world class gymnast. I have a great body but am probably gay. Oh, well.

I Googled my name and found out I'm one of the top flutist in the country!

Spoken like someone that doesn't have 20,000 Google hits on their name...

Google my real name and pretty much all you come up with is where I was accused of being a vampire in a court of law.

And I was a greenlit thread too .. how about that!

I would venture that this is a bit of generational gap thing. As our youth starts with early exposure to social networking sites the amount of random information on just about everyone will only increase. Possibly to the point where your visible humanity no longer becomes a crutch.

Kwisatzhaderach:

Despite your credentials, you sir, are a dumbass.

/unless you were being facetious

Gregory F. Stuart:
See? Even with all of that personal information you I just posted, you still don't know who I am(Gregory F. Stuart?), where I live (Clearwater, Florida?), what I do for a living, etc., etc.

All joking aside, I take your point.

However, I found what little information I did with one click of a mouse. If someone with more experience and motivation did a little digging, then you might be suprised by what they could find.

I am the internet so im getting a kick out of how much information is available about you inside me.

Sammy Jenkins: ummmm...do you have a pet raccoon?

No...

I have three of them.

None of them are pets though.

Google my real name and the first five or so results are actually me - the stuff I wrote for Shotgun Reviews and Newsarama, then my personal website, then LinkedIn or something...

Anyway, after that is an obituary. Heh. However, given that I've been using the same username online for a good long while, I'm glad that I've never posted embarrassing personal information (though I would be a bit ashamed if anyone ever found my LiveJournal entries from when I was fifteen).

Still, just googling my name doesn't actually yield anything other than, "Hey, DementedPants is a big ole nerd!" And I'm okay with that.

Desmo: Kwisatzhaderach:

Facetious? Moi?

But you're right I am a dumbass

Sammy Jenkins: are they your familiars?

No, They are rehab critters. Will be released this spring.

Well, two of them will.

The third is most likely going to be taking a niiiice long permanap some time next week.

Hey! I'm an actor! I didn't know...

I only care that 60% of the time it works, every time.

How did your comment get here? Carrier pigeon?

Gregory F. Stuart:

You might have a point if my name were Gregory F. Stuart, if I lived in Clearwater, Florida, and if were a 32-year-old professor.

But, but, your profile said...

Next, you'll be telling me that hornygirl117, who I met in an AOL chatroom, isn't really a hot and naught nymphomaniac!

Facepalm? Because I'm not worried? You're a farking dick, subby.
