Blog post #4

Well I "googled" myself and came up with some funny results. First off, the first six links were to sites associated with either this class or my CA 272 class (which required all students to start a twitter account). Thankfully my twitter account is not available for all to see and I'm pretty sure no one can see my blog posts on this site without logging in. Some of the other links were to facebook groups that I have been a member of, such as "the retro cubs appreciation society", which is a group my friend McGee started so we could relive the cubs glory days by posting goofy pictures of players we grew up rooting for in the mid 90's. I also found a link on the second page on google to some of my football statistics over the years in high school. As expected zeros across the board, not many statistics needed for a center. Since my last name isn't very common there are also links to family members web pages who share my last name. Overall I have mixed feeling about my information being available on google. It's strange to think that random groups I am a member of on facebook are on there, however I don't mind if a link to my high school newspaper with me in it shows up. Basically anything that I feel I have willingly put into the "webisphere" as public I have no problem with, yet when things are displayed on searches that were never intended to be public, it's a little weird.
