Googling yourself?

Have you ever done this? Real name and usernames? It can be quite surprising!

I found an old letter to the editor I'd written in Time magazine, lots of book reviews in Amazon and many comments from Catsey!

Re: Googling yourself?

I've just tried it using my real christian name and found someone has pinched my name and is using it as a domain. She is an authoress and I have just e-mailed her to say I want it back.(Could be the beginning of an internet friendship - who knows).
A bottle of French lemonade has also got my name, but I did know that. Lewis Carroll also was a friend and familiar with my name!!!!Whatever next
