have you typed in your real name on google to see what comes up? that has got to be one of the scariest things that you can do so brace yourself before doing it.

if you have a common name then things are even more likely to be scary. i tried this and it was an exdperience for sure lol

Yes. Ironically, I have a very unique name, so most of the hits are correct. There's also a famous Russian artist with my last name (I think we're related, because I've seen pictures of him, and he kind of looks like me).

Yeah, you have to be careful about that, because when applying for a real job, that's what they do, too.

Actually, I think that companies still use outside agencies for any pre-employment background checks but you can be sure that one of the things that those agencies do is google your name or email address or other things to see what activity you can be tied to online.

i think their images part is also scary since it stores alot of the gifs and things are online even after theyr are getting removed by the poster so in other words anything you put online is there forever now hahaha

I've tried to keep my real name offline as much as possible, but for the sake of the human network I signed up on Facebook under my real name and not much else.

Still, I learned that people with my name are a comic book artist, an embassy advisor, a stage actor, a riot squad police officer, and a college football lineback. Fun.

A04 is a DVD recorder, and as I've learned the fourth track on the A-side of every record...

i am guessing that google has their hands in much more information than what we see online
there are many things that they have acces to that they would not release as it breaks all privacy
