I Googled my name and all my PROFILE info was right at the top of the page...#1! Way too much info, so I changed my profile, real name, city, etc. I'm registered all over the net and my name has never generated any info at all!
Heads UP, FYI
Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know

Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away

I have had people find me that I hoepd I would never hear from ever again. It amazes me that there are even 7 with the same first and last name and they live places that I have never been to. My husband and I went to Lake Arrowhead and stayed at a motel in the mountains and I wrote a review on teh place and that was there, with our home phone number too for the world to see.
The thing is, Google can only show information that has been made public by you or someone else. The point of the lesson is to be very careful when it comes to post personal information online. Keep it to the absolute minimum required. Also be careful when you write reviews, testimonials etc. for third parties. They might provide more info on you than you could have intended.
