I get my website, my website again, a link to my website from someone else's site, and I'm apparently a retired Colonel and also a Human resources company... that explains a lot. |

Well I am the only person in the world with my exact name so I guess I am just this photo nerd from Iceland and that´s it, don´t even need to google my name to figure that out :) |

Apparently I am the president of DC United. A motorcycle traveller. I play for the Chicago Bears and I'm a dead boxer (R.I.P.). I am also a registered New Zealand professional fishing guide. My only movie role is playing a priest in the film "Swimfan".
The scary one is from the same place as I currently live (Devon in England) and has made it his mission to get into the L.A. Galaxy football team to play with David Beckham!

Here is what I got when I googled my married name Rebecca Bryan.
Married Daniel Boone.
Also a fine artist based out of Atlanta....kind of freaky since I am a photographer about 1.5 hours east of Atlanta.
Here is my maiden name search Rebecca Tharp.
High School sophomore track and field athlete

I get many pages of hits that are all me. Once it stops being me, it's also not exactly my name, since that seems to be a unique one - at least it the combination of first and last. |

I am as unique as they come.. I wrote a letter to a magazine once and that comes up with disturbing frequency though..

Your kidding, right? With a name of J.B. Smith I get about four billion hits!
Now if I narrow it down by including a number of other modifiers I can get somewhere. |

My name gets 41,000 hits, with the first page pretty much accurate. I even found some webpage that still has info about a shareware software program I wrote about 12 years ago! Cool stuff.

I've tried numerous times googling my own name in hopes im some famous underdog photographer, but theres a Kari Haskell in New York who writes for the New York Times, and her stuff is all I ever get. Except for once my DPC profile came up, i got pretty excited about that.
Sigh...;) |

"Drew Hane" in Google gets a few geneology type sites, my DPC profile, and a lot of anime card game talk. The card games were suprising; appearantly "hane" is a common precursor to some other cards or something and they are drawn from a deck...I don't play and really wonder how it all works...anyway it is a lot of play by play like, "Later, I drew hane-somethingorother and used it for this. Next the other guy drew some dragon card. Then I drew hane-hane and dominated the game that I am playing."
Nobody else with my name, so the internet is pretty much waiting for me to make my big break.

Interesting, I searched all 37 pages, yet *none* of the hits are anything to do with me. Guess my plan of internet anonymity actually works ;o)

The first Google hit is of a Timothy Toole the "Photographic Artist" in New Mexico. The next couple are of me on another photo site. |

I find it amusing that i have links to tourist/agricultural/university websites claiming:
"Flower Rich Hay Meadows Flourish In Fermanagh",
"Flower-rich meadows are an integral part of the UK’s heritage, landscape and natural wealth."
"However, because of the traditional, low intensity farming methods, herb-rich hay meadows are common (lowland meadows) with some of the best examples selected as ASSIs."
Anyone guessed at my real name without looking at my profile? ;)
At least my photography gallery (albeit my old link) is #2 :) |

16,600 Waddy Thompson hits. The ones about me are about launching vegetables with air cannons, television, or photography.

Well there's only one of me, LOL. But still plenty of references come up. Mostly related to publications; magazine articles, papers at conferences. Interesting that three of the top four links are for photography-related sites though. |
