It's strange - I find it both weird and cool at the same time when a google search about a person comes back without information. Weird because - who does that? Cool because - it's possible that this person is very good at managing their privacy. But my head cannot decide and in the end I'm mostly frustrated that my desire for information was left hanging. I completely know that it's wrong and bad, but, well, the feeling is there. Weird times we live in.
It also reminds me, again, of the joke making its round when google+ started:
It had an uncommonly long signup form, the joke being "Come on google, quit playing games - you already know all of that about me. Why bother asking?"
- Zigurd 13y agoI'm the first result for googling my first name. I look at it as being a bit like Bono, or Cher.
- skore 13y agoCareful, though - that might just be your filter bubble.
- Zigurd 13y agoI've only tested it in reasonably random settings a few times, so, you may be right about the filter bubble. What are your results? (If you've seen pictures you'll know I'm not the bodybuilder with the "zigurd" account name on some bodybuilding forum.)
- skore 13y agoI live a terrible life in the shadow of a greater man with the exact same, exactly as rare name - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Deutsch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Deutsch (although my twitter does show up on page 2 when anonymous, page 2 when logged in, so there.)
