I have just tried this and it's amazing how many results come back. Sadly or maybe thankfully none of them refer to me, but, I wish some of them did. I have been an author, a politician, and I have even been an inventor (sadly I died 63 years ago, oh well ). You should give it a try.

I just did in response to your discussion, How is it possible for the internet to know what i have been doing, it appears like a log book of me and my activities.

i don't know either. even my videos are even connected to the search bar. i believe since internet is made in the US, they can monitor everything that we do here,seriously. gladly, i don't see my picture in the internet because i'll be in big trouble.

Hi Ajay Singh Baghel: Yes, don't worry. Actually I think that, the fact that these rich and important persons have your name should be like a big inspiration for you. It's like, I have the right name, I could be like them or even better. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

I do admit that Im guilty with this. I dont do it often. I think maybe Ive done it twice at most. I just wanted to see if something would come up. Im just very particular to not leave a digital trace or at least those that come up easily in public searches. I even tried looking up in the deep web but thankfully my name only came up with less than 5 listings. I couldnt control those listings because it was a class list from my high school and other official directories. I tried searching for my username and those have come up a lot of results which I dont mind because I know that I was going into those sites. Im just careful not to associate my internet username and my real name in sites that doesnt have a good privacy policy. That's just me anyways.^_^

Hey, nothing to feel guilty about, it's always good to see who or what is written / watching you on the internet. Especially nowadays with so many hackers and identity thefts going on. Pivacey is very important to everyone in this modern world. Thanks for your input to this discussion, have a cool day.

wow, that's a very creative and a wonderful idea. This is something different we can try on the internet. Even i tried to do that and got amazing results. I have my own blog. So even that came on the search list. I was happy to see that. Thanks for the idea my friend. Do come up with such creative ideas in future. Would really love to try different things on the net.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope you enjoyed it, I would like to lay claim to the idea of putting your real name into search engines but I saw it originally on a television show. (But dont tell anyone ) Glad your enjoying your time on the internet, have fun.

There's not much for my name - I must be the only one on this planet with "my" name. It's a not-so-common first and last name. So if I find anything with my name combination - it's definitely about me. I used to have stuff about me in a search, but I haven't been around since starting a family from about 5-6 years ago . . . so I've mostly disappeared off search engines - hee hee - but good!

Well, I'd rather stay private these days - so it's fine with me to be gone from the search engines. I'm a hermit by choice - hee hee!!!

Hi Haddowz: I have searched my complete name and the first page is all about me. Yes they talk about me for real because I've won a lawsuit that I present to th Constitutional Court of my country. I'm proud for these fifteen minutes of fame and I think it's a reward to my hard work. Thanks for sharing with us this tip. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

I am. I do typed my name and was amazed that some who have my name are either Italian, Mexican or Spanish. I am from the Philippines and my name come travel up to Mexico, Italy and Spain. Nice one. Maybe because of my surname. I also check on them on Facebook and we don't look a like . But its fun, knowing someone you share your name with and knowing they are successful with their life and your not

I have but I don't get as many results at you; I guess I have a more unique name at least the way I spell it. It was a long time ago when I did it so things might be different now.

I did this a year or so ago and discovered that I am a famous Gaelic football player in Ireland. I will go and do it again to see what I find now. Ha HA, I am still an Irish footballer, but am also a commercial lawyer, a Rugby player and a motivational speaker. I honestly do not know how I find the time to do all of these things!

Sadly NO, I did not make the top 10. I really must have a boring life, OR I have a very common name It's unique to me, so I'm happy.

i did, sadly no results about me. just the network that I've been a member in and thats all there is.

Hi Haddowz, I did. And i found my names in directories of non-government working on Reproductive Health, HIV/AIDS and Women and Children's Advocate. Since i've been involved in this cause for almost the entire years of my career. I too was proud seeing the document i made... for an international funded training--a module on lifeskills for teens!

A few years ago when I did it nothing came up. I did it again about a month ago with my married and maiden name and it's all myspace, twitter, and 1 real estate agent. Most are people with my name (either of them) are 7 to 10 yrs younger then me. I guess in a way that's good.:)
