Have you ever tried to Google your name and see what results would you get? Few months ago, I got a call from a law enforcement agency away from the city I live in, he said he got my contact information from my resumed I have posted to some website, but he got it by doing Google search.

Another day, a friend of mine asked me to give him my social security number and he will show me what kind of information he can pull about me from the internet, that really scared me.

So, have you ever Googled yourself and see what the world knows about you?

I make a habit to Google myself all the time, and am sure to Google my common alias as well. I want to trademark my alias some day in the future so having proof of its existence in commerce over 5 years ago is one of the criteria I need to meet.

Check out what happened when I was found on last month. It was a fun experiment to get reports of who followed links to my profile.
