Yeah, I've googled. Sometimes it's kind of awkward learning information about someone and either having to explain how you know it or act like you don't. Example: before my girlfriend and I had our first date, I googled her name and found out where she went to college and grad school and her birthdate. She asked me where I went to school, and I didn't want to say "and I already know where you went, because I researched you on the web," and then watch her run out of the room in fear of a mad stalker.
Other times it can be good to google people. I always search google groups for ebay names of sellers I'm thinking about buying from to see if anyone's bitched about them (I learned this the hard way when I did a search after I had gotten ripped off and found like 20 posts of people unhappy with the guy).
Google me and you get the production notes from an unedited filmed interview I did 5 years ago with a word for word transcription of the interview, including every "uhhh..." "errr..." and notes like [SCRATCHES ARMPIT]. Not very flattering.
