Ego Surfing….
An amusing little thing to do is Ego Surfing. With the unusual names that most of us avatars have, this is a pretty easy thing to do. For example, try a search on Google for “October Hush”. You’re pretty much guaranteed to find only hits for the lovely Miss Hush. It’s interesting to see where you’re name is coming up in other places; sometimes places you would be surprised.
Google has a feature called Google Alerts that you can setup to send you an email when it finds a search term or terms you specify. So - say I want to stalk the lovely Miss Hush’s activity on the Internet, I can setup Google to do most of the work for me….

What the hell??
Heehee, and thank you for using me as an example for ego surfing. Believe it or not, I haven’t googled my SL name yet, but I’ve done it for my rl name and the name I use as a musician.
