• “Facebook and YouTube may be full of images of young people doing bong hits, exposing body parts and, worst of all, jamming to Guitar Hero; but it has also become common, says Joe Murphy, a 25-year-old law student at Columbia, for career counselors to tell graduating students “Google yourself, and go through your Facebook page, and take everything down.” Entree into the adult world now comes with a new warning: Anything and everything online can be held against you.”

  Googling me => About 633 results. [Technically, about 40 are about me.]
  -First one is my website…
  -Second, a syllabus (snore!)…
  -Third on the list is this very blog. Oooh, scandal.
  -4 a student blog with a paper he wrote for my class long ago…
  -The next handful are links to an article I co-wrote with Kevin & Cindy…
  -Zoominfo?
  -A link to a web site I used to have (sybilpriebe.com)…
  -The BisonBlog on Blogger (no longer used, really)…
  -11th result = We were used in a Ph.D. paper! Whoa.
  -And there’s the class where we were read.
  -The contest I won when I was an Opinion Editor for The Spectrum…
  -The subject of a blog entry…
  … at about result 51, my geekness stops, and oddball results begin.

  What does my Google search say about me? BIG HUGE NERD.
