GoogleHer

At the moment it seems I can't visit a blog without it talking about Blogher, while I'm a bit mystified about what it exactly is, who can go there and why you'd want to it has inspired a really good meme. Carmen over at Mom to the Screaming Masses has posted about a meme where you type your name in to Google and list 5 facts about people with your name that you find as a result.

1) The top link is to an Australian singer who I really hope never makes it to the UK as it's all a bit rubbish and teenage angsty!
2)The next is to my actual user profile on UKClimbing
3) The next is a Facebook link to someone who isn't me
4) Another one is to a diary I wrote for our local radio station during my 2 months trip in Thailand (which I still need to tell you guys about, I haven't forgotten!)
5) It also appears that someone with my name works for a corporate finance firm.

What about you, what do you get when you type your name in to Google? Leave me a comment or write a post and let me know.

  1. Ha - this is rather interesting, I think that I may have touched on this topic a few months ago - but should definitely go a post like yours on GoogleHer!! (and yes, too much BlogHer going on at the moment!)

    The majority of google links are for a rugyby player! (Hmmm - not me!), then there's someone on bebo - not me! There's a jazz player, but mostly it's all about this rugby player who must be quite well known as there's loads of links for him! (he plays for England I believe!)

    I finally appear on a google page 10 in the minutes of a meeting in 2003. At least my personal identity is fairly safe seeing as there is another very well known me!! ha ha!

  3. Hi, found you on the ICLW list,

    I am with you on the whole BlogHer thing. I am too new at this to have a clue about what is going on. It does seem as if everyone had a fantastic time.

  4. Hahaha, I love things like this. What is this Blogher thing? I must go look that up next. But not before I google myself.
    Let's see:
    My other selves are --
    Australian author (s?) - one listing is for the Sydney Morning Herald's obituary editor.
    Marketing assistant.
    A French girl on facebook.

    ... I think I'll blog this, too. Thanks!
