I just heard of a site that promises to be better than Self-Googling. You know, the thing that everyone is doing in private, the thing that you are doing but maybe not admitting to it: searching for your own name in Google.
Try This: Zoom Info ("People Information Summarized") Note how you can click on the "This is me" link and update your profile.
I'm supposed to be writing my book on blogging so am not going to fiddle with this site but it looks interesting and satisfying for self-Googlers everywhere. Now we can say we self-Zoom.
Let me know what you think since I won't have time to really play around with it until I turn in my book.
I saw this post last night and yes, I got caught up in the Self-Zoom trap. There were old articles on the internet about me (things I had forgotten about) and there was some stuff I didn’t even know about.
The interesting (and time consuming) thing was that when I clicked on “this is me”, I had the opportunity to fill in an entire resume and bio.
I’m not really sure what that will do for me but I feel like I “set the record straight”.
Thanks for the link.
