Google and your nickname - 11/14/2006 4:30:03 PM

I am reading a book about Google, and they said you should Google your name often to see what comes up. I found myself which was disconcerting enough, but when I put in my NICK, things from this site and Bondage.com appeared. So if you are using a nick people know outside of the lifestyle, and someone types your nick into Google, they can find out you posted here!

That's why I use one nick for BDSM stuff and a completely separate one for my vanilla goings on.

And NEVER my real name!

I check Mine to make sure its Me.
I also use a different name for vanilla things.
I really dont care who knows so I dont do much to hide who I am.

This one is only used here and at b.com. So the only thing that shows up are posts from these places.

with this nick, nothing came up. the only thing that appeared from google of mine was a post regarding a different nick I use.

But really, if you put personal info on the net it's really not that hard to find. *shruggs*

Anyone that knows me well enough to know my nick here (and everywhere else) already knows what I am into. If they really want to google me and see what I get into, its their own fault for looking.

I did not know this and appreciate being told... My sexuality is not my life therefore, I wish not for anyone who knows this nick to find out more about me then they need too.

Thank you for sharing this.

Well you would have to go through a LOT of amalie pages on Google before coming up with anything about me.

Not that i am trying to hide or anything.

Type in my professional name Amalieve however and it's a totally different story.

But like many of you have said: who cares?

Google is not a place where people "turn your nickname in" for it to record -

It is an organization that uses software (such as "webcrawler") which scour the internet for new and altered pages of information.

It does not target anyone or anything specific, just records unique strings of characters (numbers, letters, etc) and remembers where they were found...

So, if someone puts a character string into the Google box od "windygal" it finds where that exact combination appeared when it was looking at the entire web at an earlier time and then lists those pages for you on the Google page.

(That is why it pull up pages at times which no longer have on it what you are looking for, as it is not an active search when you hit "go", but a rememberance of strings of characters as placed in the box.)

~J

PS: If someone does not want anyone else from discovering their postings using a psuedonym, then they really ought not to be on the internet.
