A week or so ago I decided that I should surf a little bit around Goggle on my name… reputation mangement. I wanted to know what might be said about me. And I have recently had a few friends (I’m not going to say “old friends” because they don’t appear old) contact me because they found me through searches and social networking.
I search my name on a fairly regular basis, and have Google alerts set… but I found a few people with my name of which I wasn’t already aware. I knew about Wendy Lane Bailey, a singer from Lousiana that currently resides in NYC. But what I didn’t know was that there were 10 other Lane Baileys on Facebook… and another 5 or so Bailey Lanes.
So… point?
