Googling Myself

Posted on February 28, 2005 06:10 PM by Joel Comm

Have you ever Googled your name? I just did a search for "Joel Comm" and Google spit out 44,300 results.

Of course, this is nothing in comparison to some other names. Take, for example, my friend Chris Pirillo. 241,000 results. Not bad, Chris.

Then there is Bob Rankin, driver of The Internet Tourbus. Bob outdoes me with 55,200 results.

How about my man, George W. Bush? 12,200,000 results. Whoa.

Even John Smith has a good day at Google. 1,770,000 results. Of course, there just might be 1,770,000 John Smiths in the world.

To see how you Google, be sure to enter your name in quotation marks. That way Google will know you want the whole name in that order. Let me know how many results you display.
