The results can be freaky.
I use my real name sometimes (on the internet), since I'm too paranoid to bother with trying to hide, and the google results for my name come up with posts on message boards from years ago.
if you search for my name, tons of stuff comes up, a lot of it is fluff like links to my now nonexistent rollingstone.com download page, but a lot is now pointing to real sites by me. whether people can FIND me given a few hours and google though is another matter...
X11 once wrote to me to tell me he had found my address. he had tracked down a Calum Carlyle living in london and he knew the telephone number and address. i wasn't that surprised to find he had done that, but i was very surprised to find that in fact there is another Calum Carlyle living in london!!! (you never thought he found my real telephone and address details did you?) sadly i didn't keep the email, or i might have got in touch with my doppelganger!
hey,
just for a laugh, click here.
