Have you ever 'googled' yourself?

Just had a look. One mention for a directorship I no longer hold. All my working life professional directory entries have faded away now although I do still get emails from organisations assuming I’m still working.

No, but i have met someone who had googled me
Very disconcerting.

All my DC can be found by googling though you need to know something about them first. Same with me. I have a Facebook page which is easy to find.

It's the way of the world I'm afraid.

Yes I have, and yes I am, a few newspaper articles ( no not crimes 🤣) from work days and the charity work I did

Found a linked in profile that I did not create, but is clearly about me. So thank you for this. Now I need to work out how to get rid

I googled myself and there’s someone with the same name that’s committed benefit fraud amongst other things.

I have just done it. Apparently I died in 2020.

Nothing on me and I want it to stay that way!

Why does it bother people if they have an online profile?

I have had one for years, all to do with my outside interests, although it is beginning to fade. it has never cause me any jarm, nor done me any good.

Apparently I'm a Nigerian/American professional basketball player 😂. I was hopeless at netball in school so perhaps it's not me.

I am so surprised. Just googled, and although I have a very unusual surname, there is another one of me out there! Interestingly it also shows a donation I made to a Justgiving fundraiser too.

My goodness me I’m famous in so many different categories and life skills, all of whom look younger and seem much better paid than me. None of whom is actually me.
I’m astonished about how much personal information, age, family, location, though not actual address.
I’m quite relieved to be anonymous.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Going through life with very common first and last names means you always feel anonymous. If I heard or read my name anywhere I would ignore it as it could mean anyone.
John Smith used to be the most common British name but I’ve never met one. I’m going away to Google John Smith, I shan’t bother with myself.

I'm very common, now, apparently 😁

However, I was more unusual (refined?) before I married.

Not me personally though there is a well known song about someone with the same name.
Clearly I am not a memorable person and have no achievements worth anyone making a note of.
