Google Google!

Blog 8:

Have you ever searched for your own name on Google? Do it now. For example, by Googling “Michael Charlton” I have discovered that my fellow Michael Charltons include a historian of the War of the Roses, an Australian rugby player, and an assistant professor at Missouri Western (wait, I know that one). Who did you find with your name in the wide world? What have the other “yous” been up to with their time? Did you find yourself? What were you up to according to Google?

After searching for my name on Google, I mostly found links to other people’s Facebook pages who had the same name as me. I did find one Kelsey Houser who is a photographer from Knoxville, TN. She does traditional photography stuff: weddings, senior pictures, baby photos, pet pictures, etc. I also found a Kelsey Houser who is a lead manager of a nonprofit organization called Relay For Life Central Area at American Cancer Society in Sacramento, CA. I found out that before that, she was a special events coordinator for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. A link to my Twitter page also came up on the first page of the Google search, apparently according to Google I’ve been tweeting a lot. I have 3,979 tweets at the moment, my last tweet a song lyric from Florence & The Machine’s “I’m Not Calling You a Liar.” Although if you are reading this in class, I have more than likely passed the 4,000 mark by now.
