Anyone who googles my name can find out that I have 3000+ posts on a site about PDAs, a few posts in a graphing calculator forum (shut up, I was 12)... and not much else. Granted, it's not criminal or anything, but it can't really be good either. What makes it worse is that my sister, my parents and I are the only people in the US with my last name, which kinda makes my identity absolutely unmistakeable.
Granted, it's not likely that I'll be applying for real jobs for another 8 or so years, but it's kinda disconcerning to know that our online lives aren't as private as we think.
Your thoughts on this?
edit: Actually, I'm probably just retarded for throwing my name around when I didn't need to, but what about sites like facebook? That's unavoidable, although thankfully it doesn't show up in google. Not like I have anything incriminating there either.
A search for my real name on google gets ~400 hits, none of which are me. I prefer to use pseudonym(s) online, generally with a different one per site. I sometimes google job candidate's names to see what kind of stuff they get up to, but that hasn't (and probably wouldn't) swayed my opinion either way. I should be hiring a guy in a few hours and haven't looked for him at all.
