My Google Myself

Interesting story about Google in the Tampa Trib today.

If you haven't tried it yet, you will. Google yourself, that is. Vanity searching your own name is among the most popular ways to exercise Google. A survey by the Pew Internet Project found that nearly 25 percent of self-Googlers say they are stunned by how much information about themselves is online.
I Googled myself. Here is what I found. I'm #1 on Google.

For more graphical results do a Kartoo on your name.

You actually get more results a page, and you get the relations (if any) between the sites.

In addition, you get a list of related terms you can use to narrow down your search.

But, you do need to have the latest Flash installed. Bout the only serious drawback to the place.

How many pages did you get?

Les - most of that Googlism list actually is about me - everything except being the director of the loyola law school center for conflict resolution, editor of the lgs bulletin, and assistant coach for the tiger softball program.
