An extensive Google search has yielded one personal hit. It’s for a
journalism award I won in high school. Woo hoo! I exist!
Anybody else so far failing to join the 21st century?

A search of my full name on Google yields no results (anymore). I like it that way.
Damned stalkers.
I got four hits in the first 100, all gaming- or SCA-related.
I appear to be going through live anonymously. Zero hits. Just the way I like it
I, too, am nowhere to be found on the Web - though I do have one namesake, working as a school librarian somewhere in middle America. I don’t know her at all.
Well, I just did a vanity search for the first time in years, and was pleased to see that my name doesn’t come up until page 4 of the Google results. Apparently, there was a relatively famous automotive designer who shares the same name as me, so most of the links are about him. The only stuff that comes up for me are game credits.
Weird things that I discovered from the vanity search:
There are an awful lot of people with my name who are dying. It’s somewhat alarming to keep seeing headlines listing your date of death and seeing people expressing sympathies.
There was an actor from the 1930’s-50’s with my name; I’d never heard of him.
I somehow have an entry in the IMDB. I don’t know who put it there. There is only one credit, for the worst game I worked on. Now I’m wondering if I need to get an agent…
There’s a town in Texas that was named after somebody with my name, so that accounted for about half of those 100 threads.
Which is funny, because it’s an extremely uncommon name (or was when I was born), but we are in no way related.
My abbereviated first name (John, not Johnathen) + last name yeilds exactly one google hit. It’s a church newsletter. There’s an article thanking my boy scout troop for some community service work we did at the church (several of the leaders are parishoners), and my name was mentioned as one of those thanked.
My name brings up zilch, my website brings up 1 hit on google and only if you type in the “.com” with it.
So, so sad
I do. I checked once and I have zero personal hit. I don’t exist.
Over 30 pages for my name, and yet no mention. Up till what I checked anyway.
After goggling my first and last name, it appears that I have been more active then what I thought. Here’s some of what I found……
Upon graduating in 2000, she chose to pursue postgraduate studies in cello performance at the Royal College of Music with cellist Lowri Blake. During her time there, she developed a passion for early music and took up the viola da gamba and baroque cello, winning the College’s Centenary Fund Prize for Early Music with her trio Fleuri in her final term.
Jennifer was elected at the annual meeting of the Baptist Missionary Association of America to serve as a Missionary Support Worker in Lebanon.
Huh. Well the rest of the 1500 some odd pages is devoted to the actress with the same last name as mine. Mostly bragging of nude pics.
I don’t appear to have any hits on my real name, but quite a bit turns up on various usernames.
None of the hits for my name brought up anything about me personally but apparently, my name is a popular choice for dentists.
My user name brings up all sorts of pages and they’re all about me so far as I can tell though.
Zilch.
Apparently I share the name with a published professor of anthropology, so almost everything I got was about this guy. I did get a link to a gaming review site I’ve recently joined with. With a shortened name, I had 20 pages of hits from a variety of sources, none having anything whatsoever to do with me.
My user name is all mine, though.
Aparently, I’m a clown with my own website. And I have my own movie out staring Bobcat Goldthwait as yours truely.
Wow! I had no idea how populat I was. /sarcasm
This is weird…100% of the results of my quotation-marked name being googled (that’s 28 results), are geneology related.
They’re all cemetary and family-tree type webites.
Another thing that’s weird is that I was born and died in several different states, I was married to many different women, I was born in several different decades, but all in the 19th century.
My real name is shared with a famous British comedian so nothing there.
My nickname is shared with an even more famous orator- and also some dump in Indiana.
I rate four hits - one on my work website, one on our church website, one where someone has reproduced a letter I wrote to a newspaper some years ago and the last where someone has reproduced a work-related letter that I sent them (they were using our crest on thier website and took exception to being asked not to…).
Is that good?
