I googled myself to see if any pics of me where online, and to my surprise, they had one of me.

I'm a model, so there are lots of pictures of me online. Oddly enough, they all have the word "BEFORE" on them...

I love having a common name.

My name is Zach Johnson - go ahead, google it. The first thousand or so pages are of the pro golfer and some game developer.

But yeah, I don't understand the compulsion to document every little detail of your life and put it up on the net for everyone to see. Why would you need 500 pics of yourself on facebook?

There are several of my floating around. Thankfully, none of them are directly attributable to me, as in my name ain't on 'em.

That's good, since some of them are...

I actively work to eliminate pictures of me in real life, too.

Also, I take great care in keeping my online identities as far removed from my real identity as possible. This way I don't have to worry so much about info leaks - 95% of the information out there about me is wrong.

I wonder how many of those people said that after googling themselves. There are lots of other ways to have photos online that avoid the common search engines, I somehow doubt that dating websites with group photos or police/government monitoring stations are on dogpile, yahoo, etc.

According to the census...I am the only person in America with my name. So I don't get tons of other people hits on Google. And no I don't have some crazy name.

 
Cybernetic 2008-03-22 11:41:14 AM  
Did a GIS search for my name, got a bunch of other people. Pics of me? Not so much.

I didn't think I was reclusive. Maybe I am.

When I search my name on Google I get a copy of an interview I did for my university's newspaper on a project I'm working on. Some other online paper picked it up and decided to post it online..

This is such a non issue. It's not not a danger to your privacy when people don't know who the hell you are. There are so many photos online that if yours is among them you're just a random image on the Internet. Consider the case where you were at a bar and someone took a picture of their "good times", and you ended up on their myspace along with them.

It's not like "Oh wow, that's Betty Smith who lives in Houston, TX - her picture is on the Internet! hahahahaha!!!"

It's like "random image of a person that I'm subconsciously ignoring while I look for pictures of my friends."

There is anonymity in crowds. Because although you are a person, you are also just a face in the crowd. No more reason to be paranoid about this than to be paranoid that people saw you at a gas station. Oh noes, they like totally saw you!

I like how we're supposed to believe that would be a woman's biggest concern after happening upon Jason Alexander naked.

If you weren't blinded by the sight, you might notice, but it's more likely you'd crawl away weeping than laugh.

Sorry George. :[

There are exactly three hits on my name in google. All on about the 10th page. There are 5-10 photos with me in them on flicker, none with me identified.

I checked for myself on some of those picture search engines that harvest pics from MySpace and Facebook and all I found was a bunch of incredibly hot chicks that share my name. No beef here.

I like how a guy looking like George ever took home a woman who wasn't a flabby dork like himself. But that's TV for ya. "NO FAT CHICKS".

A google search for me yields some pretty good-looking chicks (yes, I have one of those names) including a rather MILFy engineering professor. Mmmm.

Quite simply never post a picture of a loved one, or even worse yourself on the internet (especially Fark) unless you are happy with the whole world seeing it. I'm sure the following people would agree.
