Do you ever google yourself? I admit, I do occasionally, just to see what comes up. There must not be very many Kimberly Woodings in the world, because I would say at least 90% of the results from a "Kimberly Woodings" google search are about me. I also subscribe to google alerts so when they pick up a new site with my name, I get an email. You know that other people (friends, future employers, etc.) google you, so I figure it's good to know what they'll find!
Not sure if you've ever seen this video, but I think it's pretty cool when you google the name Matt, that his site is the first result. If I googled the name Kimberly, I'm guessing I would never even be able to find a single link that was referring to me. I got to thinking, though, what if I googled Kimberly Boise, ya know, just to narrow it down a bit. I wonder how many pages I would have to click through until I found a site that referred to me? Or how many pages until my blog displayed as a result? I know there are a ton of Kimberlys in or around Boise (let alone a city in Idaho named Kimberly!) Well, I tried it... and found sites referring to me on both pages 3 and 4, and then my blog appeared on page 5. Crazy, but kinda cool, right? Okay, maybe I'm a dork, but google is such a powerful tool, and I like to see what it can do :-)
UPDATE 1/24/11: I just tried googling Kimberly Boise again this morning to show somebody, and my blog has made it to the first page :-)
