A couple people I know are known someway or somehow on the internet. I don't mean by a social networking site. I'm talking about a person's name.

I've googled my full name and I've come up with a bunch of different things. I finally found me in a roster from a particular track meet about 5 years ago (nice to see I'm so popular).

It was then something occured to me, people are more prone to use aliases on the net than a real name. So I typed in a known alias of my sister's, and found A Lot Of Info. Be it pictures, blog posts, other people mentioning her alias along with her name and my name as well, where she goes to school, it is friken unbelievable.

To heck with remaining anonymous and protecting your privacy people. If you use an alias and that alias is anywhere on the web, people can figure out waaaaaay to much.

Especially if it's orginal, or you use it in more than one place. I think I might be the only "Danj3ris" in existence. And its a little scary what one can see if they type "danj3ris" into a google search. It has suddenly become impossible to retain a persona with a group of people when they can see more of you then you wished to show.

Then again, I have a rule. If I discover information about someone online, that information was never meant for me to know if that person never told me about it. So really, I don't know it.

However, that is my rule. Others may not feel that way.

    You got that right. Just try typing ALIENated into your
    favorite search engine and see what you get.

    Yeah, you got to be carefull these days. It's amazing what you can find out about yourself or others by using google

    yes, it looks like privacy may be a thing of the past, with google earth and spy cams every where....

    And I thought that my alias is unique. Boy there is no place left to hide on the web!
  • Alyss said on Aug 25, 2006....
    I deliberately choose user names that give massive of results when searched for unless specifics are added. Hiding in plain sight is sometimes more successful.

    Yeah, the first thing that appeared on google was my profile. Well, I'm sure glad that nobody knows I use this alias.

    Sadly, it's because of the government that you can find my home address on google. How can that be, you say? Because I have a resell number and so my city said I had to get a home business license, and when I did, they put my home address on the internet as a matter of public record. I can appreciate them protecting the public, but did they have to do it by sending future stalkers to my front door?
  • Lizzie said on Aug 25, 2006....
    My name is all over the internet. Graduate school, papers, work, even volunteer work. My home address was once available, but I don't think that it is anymore (have to watch closely for that).

    Such Irony.

    The post that in reality I cared the least for out of all my posts,

    makes it as a featured post.

    And now this will be on Google.
  • CreativeWoman said on Aug 25, 2006....
    I haven't Googled my screen name in a while, but I know that Creative Woman is a popular handle. The nature of my real life work gives me an internet presence. I have found at least three women that share my name when I Google it.

I let her sleep in, despite the fact that all night she kept using her ass to push me all over my queen size bed. I'm nice that way. But at the crack of 9 am I got my revenge by waking her up. It was time for a bagel and some heavy duty coffee.

If you are a chef, you'll understand.
The kitchen opens at 7am, and shuts at 10pm. Now, if I get no orders in the last half an hour of service, I can be out at 10. This makes the bosses happy, because it saves them hours, and it makes the dishpicks ... read entire post 4 comments
