Googleganger Anybody?

The morning news show was talking about Googlegangers today -- the person or persons who share your name and whom you locate when you Google yourself. A Doppelganger for the internet age.

My Googleganger is a football player in the Highland League in Scotland. Sadly, he'll never know about me because I don't appear to be Google worthy. On a juicier note, using my first and middle name nets me a porn star Googleganger.

What did you get?


Tell all your single friends, there may be another you out there.

Thanks to the internet our lexicon is growing by leaps and bounds.

I love the Google game. My 'net twin is a Professor of Health Promotion in the Division of Community Health Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. She's a virulent anti-smoking advocate. Irony abounds. Add my middle name and you get nothing.

According to Google, the Amanda Amos you know does not exist.

With my maiden name, you get all kinds of interesting things like a movie producer and an estate planning lawyer in Fredricksburg. What my old high school chums must think I'm up to.

we were probably separated at birth.

London Salvage Magnate (architectural salvage).

First & Middle nets a writer of BDS&M fiction.

Of course, I appear on my own first page, too, and as the first entry (I finally beat you, Salvage Magnate!).
