do you self-google, too?

I must be vain.
I must be insane.
Call me crazy but I love to google myself.

The only bad thing about it is that the
entries rarely change. Pages from 1995
and earlier show up in all their outdatedness.

Today was different - a little thrill because
this blog showed up on the first results page.
It pays to pay attention to your web site
page titles!

Google must be using a new algorithm.
I'm finding things that I never knew existed online.

Like a sample web page created by someone
in K-12 in Livingston, Montana.
Check it out!

Or a complete transcript of a speech I gave
in 1996 in San Francisco to the Webgrrls
chapter. With laryngitis, no less.

And a chat transcript on Time Digital.

I also find things like my very first web site
with Interport (now RCN) that is still up,
although it has been edited in the last
5 years so it isn't the gloriously ugly original
"The Web According to Cybergrrl" site.
(http://users.rcn.com/asherman.interport/.

Here's is a more recent product endorsement
thing I did for fun (no pay).

But in case there's a danger of me getting a big head
for having such vast Google results, I can just go
to BookCloseouts.com and see my out of print books on sale
for low, low prices.

Googling myself is like a trip down a bittersweet
lane or a visit to a cyber mausoleum for the
Web dead.

Of course I do. But I always end up at the web page showing the dead comedian's grave. And see you name on a headstone is a tad disconcerting.

I self-google. but in a few months when I get married, I will be Aliza Sherman and maybe my information will add to the mix.
