ok, I'm no SWK or anything, but I just googled myself and one or two other members here, and the top or near top search results are in some way connected w/ YW! sometimes the results refer directly to yw.

sniff, there was a time when i desperately searched my name online and couldn't even find a single mention. Thank you, Yellowworld, for making me and countless nameless others famous!

btw i'm not divulging my real name and i would appreciate a similar respect for confidentiality from others. let's just say i don't want people to stalk me unless i can reciprocate. :)

My google comes up with nothing. My name's too generic.

I like not having a paper trail. You have to dig pretty deep and run through several combinations of my names before you find anything on me online.

:o

My handle comes right up on the first page. My real name does too. I guess that's the result of being on boards for a long time.

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge, but make sure your name is enclosed in quotes so Google knows it's a phrase and not individual words you're looking for. I've been using my middle initial on everything since college since my name is really common in a certain country that begins with a Ph and all 7 of the results only point to me. It's mostly research work so I don't mind it being out there.

Google's Usenet Archive (http://groups.google.com) turns up some stuff I never imagined would be archived for 10+ years (maybe forever) when I was posting through BBS-to-Usenet gateways. I just assume everything will be archived forever... like these forums. Oops, guess I'm screwed.

My name is pretty unique, so it comes up first on google along with some of my fave restuarants.
