Bio
Hi, I reside in the forgotten borough, the isle of Staten Island. I enjoy writing (DUH!), reading, computers, being a card-carrying liberal, a quality which I passed onto my two grown children and being a professional ball-buster. I enjoy politics and have volunteered on a few political campaigns. I dig blogging and ruffling the feathers of the bureaucacy. I hope none of my posting offend fellow bloggers. After all, boys and girls...we're here to have fun as well as express our opinions. I've been a New Yorker since 1987 but I'm a Midwestern girl at heart.

Have you ever....googled your name?

Rate: 0 Flag

Have you ever googled your own name?  I admit it, I have and it was fascinating to see how many times my name or parts of it have appeared.  Let's see the results change from time to time but the same constants remain:  Facebook, Associated Content.com, BrightFuse.com (a business networking site), Classmates.com and whenever I sign an online petition.  Is it a narcisstic practice to google your name?  I don't think so, there have been reports of prospective employers doing it.  They say you should watch what content you post on social networking websites auch as My Space, Facebook, Twitter and other blogsites. 

Have you been naughty or nice?   Have you taken suggestive photos of yourself while in an intoxicated state?  Have you ever trashed or criticized your employer/boss on any website?  This can haunt  (aka, bite you in the ass) later on.  Sad as it seems, Big Brother is watching us.  Sucks doesn't it.

I have googled my name. My pen name, LaRae comes up with tons of hits because I'm a writer. I admit, I get sad when I don't see anything new or some lame article I wrote a hundred years ago is up top. Oh well.
