I've got a rare last name (rare enough that we've yet to find anyone with it who isn't related to us) and I google my name all the time. I recently found an interview I forgot I gave from when I did this weird little online web camp for kids years back.
My great uncle is a world-renowned optometrist, so I end up getting a lot of stuff about him, it's kind of interesteing to read his papers. All over my head, of course When I get *real bored* I'll google my friends up, but a lot of them have really common names, so it's not much fun. |

Nothing interesting came up for me but for my g/f's first and last name I found the guest book of a Elementry School she must've filled out when she was just a child - she's exactly the same now except now she has better grammar skills.

Everything using my first and last name comes up as me - -mostly on Geneology Research sites... My last name is a restaurant in New Market, Maryland (and I want a menu or something from that place) my last name isn't unusual , but the spelling of it is.
There's also a furniture store in Pa, 4 of them infact - I wonder if I could get a discount... and a funeral home in Wilmington Delaware... But none of them are related...

all of the time. i am the worst internet stalker on earth, if i've known you in the past and you have a semi-unique name i will have googled you. i find it insanely fascinating -- and it's fun in that "i'm so bad but not really that bad" sort of way. i google all of my ex-boyfriends at least once a year.
/end i am a complete freak. |

I google people all the time if I want or need to know something about them. Like everything else on the net you have to verify your sources. I sometimes use google images to check and see if it's the right person. This mild idiocy helps me keep track of people fom other lives and occupations. It's just fun.

I could not bear to look! My name is Michael Moore...... and I am not the slovenly jerk that is getting all the press right now. To make matters even worse, I also worked on some documentary films at one time.

I checked out my name, and while a couple were actually me, Most of them are of an actor who has been on Broadway and once guest stared on MASH. I never thought that someone would share the same name as me, but I have found 2 of them now. The actor is one, the other has a long criminal record in the state of Wisconsin.

I'm a collegiate hockey player, accountant, tuba player. Which is cool because I do play hockey (though not in school), and I play the tuba (though the only tuba player was infact me)

I found out that I was:
A Biology teacher in Hawaii, a few other random references in geneologies that were not me, and a page that contains two pictures I rendered in Bryce 3D back in 2000-2001 and submited to the fan art section of the web site Ganon's Tower.
