It's a google world

On a lazy Saturday, here's something to do.

Yes, you all know we use google as a noun, verb, and an adjective. It's how information is discovered. People find other people too. 
 
Have you ever googled your name? One morning on the radio they were talking about what kinds of things come up when you google your name. Try it. Are there any links to you? If you're on facebook there's at least one! If you are a blogger, there's probably another. If your name is on any other website, there's another. 

I used to google my name back in college and nothing was connected to me. It was neat to be sort of invisible. Well, no longer can I be invisible. When I googled my name, there were quite a few hits that related to me. I'm on facebook, I have a blog, I have responded to blogs, I have written an article, I am the academic bowl coach... Well, if you ever wanted to know who I was, it's there and it's talking about ME not another Laura Sims McBryar or Laura McBryar. I'll try to stay away from being famous though. I don't really know if I want to be on wikipedia!
