Do you “Google” yourself?
It’s a rhetorical question.
I know you do. 
Come on, there is nothing shameful in it, we all do it!
Actually, I would be surprised if you have never checked what “uncle Google” says about you! No matter what you do for living, whether you try to hide something in your past online or want to show off with a picture of you with your favorite rock band, you should “google” yourself from time to time to check what your internet image is.
Why?
Another rhetorical question, I would say, but still to point out the evident.
Because Google is the one online service that shows you (and the rest of the world) what people on the internet talk, see and read about you. Your ONLINE REPUTATION, to put it in my favorite advertising slang.
So, don’t tell me you don’t care what the WEB says about you!?
Because Google is the online equivalent of your neighborhood, but multiplied million times! You should consider yourself lucky that the bore 70-year lady that you have for neighbor can tell only 3 friends about your coming home at 4h in the morning with suspiciously wild hair and some traces of make-up. Then, some of these 3 friends will discuss with at least 2 other ladies the question of your decency the next time they see you passing by. Still, remember my word, you should consider yourself lucky to have the “news” spread among a dozen of indignant old ladies!
Now, imagine that your lady neighbor is computer littered (here you need to have rich imagination, considering her age and that we are in Bulgaria…). So, she tells “the breaking news” with you starring to her online community – post on her Facebook status with a mention of your name for young generation’s edification or publish a photo of your look at the moment of that unfortunate morning and “tag” you! Then she shares all this is in www.forum-grandma.com (rich imagination, remember?) and… you find yourself with some contradictory references in Google!
OK, I exaggerate. A lot. I admit it. But did you picture yourself in the situation?
Now think where all this came from? Yep, it was the morning after one of the happiest nights in your life – the prom ball!
So, go to tell Google it was a misunderstanding!
* to google: to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the World Wide Web (see Wiki for reference)
** When I use “Google” in this post, I also mean any other search engine you like (Yahoo, Bing etc.). Google however is the most used from Bulgarians search engine.
