Googlegängers

Via the Reaction blog, I just found this New York Times article on "Googlegängers", people on the web who share your name. Interesting article, but given my rather distinctive name, it doesn't apply to me. A Google search on "Carl Klutzke" turns up 11 pages of stuff about me and nobody else. It makes me feel kind of proud, lonely, and overexposed all at the same time. It also makes me realize that nothing you ever say on the Internet ever goes away (and that, as a result, I doubt I could ever get hired by Microsoft).

And I have to wonder when, if ever, this post will appear in such a search. :)

To the best of my knowledge, I don't have a googleganger...but my brother does. They appear to have many interests in common, thpugh I doubt you'd mistake one for the other.

Funny enough, as of this moment THIS exact Lj entry is the top entry for "Carl Klutzke" on Google.
