Blog post #4: Googling myself

Like others, I'll admit to having Googled myself before. The first result is my Twitter page, followed by a specific tweet on Bo Ryan. I know that one was retweeted, so that probably factors into it being so high. Following that, there's an option to view more of my tweets. After that, it's my profile page on SB Nation (sports blog network) and some other pages from it.

Then, we get into the Facebook stuff. First was my own profile, followed by a few of my "friends." I use quotes because they're people from high school I actually haven't spoken to since, well, high school. A few groups and pages also come up.

Following that, my Badger Herald stuff comes up, with two links showing and then another "show more results" option. I also have a Vimeo account that I don't really use, so that came up. At the bottom of my results was a link for "news for mike fiammetta," with the first hit being my column for today's paper.

I'm fine with this stuff being on Google and showing up first because it's mostly stuff I'd want people Googling me to find. For jobs, I'd be sending in a lot of these samples anyway, so it's good that they come up right away.

What is kind of funny/weird is that on image search, my mug from the Herald and my Facebook profile picture show up. I guess that just shows the power of Google. The rest of the pics are mostly from stories I've written. After that, there's a lot of pics of Tony Fiammetta, fullback for the Carolina Panthers (no relation) and a bunch of other random ones.
