Google Yourself The Correct Way
By Andy Beal

David Grimes manages to make a who column out of the practice of "Googling yourself".
To my surprise (and to my suddenly inflated ego), I got 493,000 hits when I entered "David Grimes." What could they be? Paeans to my wit and wisdom? "A little something" from the Pulitzer Committee? A remedy for my erectile dysfunction?
Believe it or not, there is more than one David Grimes on Planet Earth. In fact, it appears that every fifth person shares my name. (In Tibet, my name translates to, "He who drives with finger up nose.")
Of course, we all know (smugly) he should place quotes around his name, to truly see how many references there are for his name. Doing so, drops the number count from 493,000 to just 15,100.
A pointless post? Hey, he started it, when he created a two-page article about Googling his own name. ;-)
