Heh. Yeah, I have the same deal with Destertale or Dester'tale. If I search my real name, I find some very interesting people with the same name, but only once did I find something that was actually me. It was because we had a senator visiting the library, and I was in one of the publicity shots, so they had all of our names in the blurb under the picture. I think it's been long enough that even that doesn't come up any more though. =P Pretty much everything of an on-line nature is under Destertale or Dester'tale. Although, I've found things about my WoW char Dominga too, like not only my PvP ranks, but what guilds I've been in to what dates and stuff. o_O Freaky.

yeah, I doubt I can google "Inara" and get too many WoWz things, since the Firefly fan sites will overpower the search.

It's all a bit cool and a bit freaky! If I ever get to do my presentation on "social networking" sites and the internet and safety, perhaps I'll use this as an example of how things will stick around long after you've forgotten about them! (I know I googled "orangerful" at one point and did get a picture of me! That was probably the weirdest thing of all. Now image search is mostly my icons...which seemed to be linked from all over the place. Ah well, I guess if it comes up on the search, people are crediting me!)
