Have You Ever Google Searched Yourself?

fargon · 05-10-2010, 03:03 PM

I did and I'm a sex offender in Florida!!!

DangerouslySimple · 05-10-2010, 03:06 PM

Actually, I do periodically. I also look up my husband, and my kids.

Have you guys ever saw Spokeo.com? Scary shit right there

Cloud · 05-10-2010, 03:09 PM

They got a whole lot wrong for me.

I just discovered that Google has some of my hometown's old newspapers archived now. So I was vanity searching through them an hour or so ago. I was an active nerd in high school. And my old town newspaper had nothing to print except lists of kids who made honor role or got varsity letters for yearbook or whatever.

It's nice to know that my house is worth 1+M! As if.

DangerouslySimple · 05-10-2010, 03:33 PM

yeah, they got a ton wrong on me too- but they did get some of my basic info right. I had to laugh at some of it though. I had them take my information outta the database, but it's scary that people can go there and pay for information like that.

Shawnee123 · 05-10-2010, 03:34 PM

My kids are doing wonderfully! I think. Where the hell are they? (Crap! I musta lost them YEARS ago.) Well, I wish them all the best. Wherever they are.

Scary that it is so out of date.
1) I don't exist (aren't you all happy)
2) Most of the info for the three other people I looked up was wrong.
Yeh it is scary that anyone would pay for that and think its accurate.

They have me, listed as male, under my maiden name, at the PO box I don't use anymore. Booga-booga!

Griff · 05-10-2010, 05:09 PM

I just google image searched myself and I made the first page! I share the page with a "famous" fund manager, a Canadian high school hockey player, a North Carolina track athlete/ high school running back, a drunk homo-sexual teenager in Ireland, a Jesus freak Dad in Youghal, a World Cup of Tiddley champ, a wedding planner and an educator of Travelers.

Clodfobble · 05-10-2010, 05:36 PM

Ooh, an image search, I'd never considered that. A legitimate link for me came up on the second page, though it wasn't actually a picture of me. Other than that, nothing.

jinx · 05-10-2010, 05:48 PM

First image result for my name is my facebook profile pic - but when I just search my name, someone else's facebook info comes up.... a chubby little teen.
Image results for my maiden name result in local newpaper articles about me making honor roll and skiing well in 1985. Cool. I did better in 86 though, wish they'd hurry and scan that in, lol..
