Type your name into Google maps like this

"Joe Bloggs"

I did it and got a link to Little River Canyon.

I visited there a few weeks ago and posted a video on youtube.

If your name is very common, John Smith, you may see links to others.

Spooky ain't it.  Thats part of why I quit using them.  Their 'liberalness' was the other.

When one's name is Robert Brown, the chances of finding something actually about you are very remote.  There are 13 Robert Brown's at my company alone.  Going by "RP" has somewhat enhanced my changes of getting my own email.

Typed in my first and last name.  It came up with a law firm in Clovis, New Mexico. 

Typed in my full name and it came up with the Minot Daily News in North Dakota. 

I've never been to either of those places.  Don't have any connection to either of those places that I know of.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

I typed in my name, not 0leman, and came up with lots of pages of folks with that name.  I quit looking for me after the 5th page.   guess I am not important enough to make first page. laugh laugh

I checked.  Apparently Google doesn't know much about me.  Not a real surprise.  I don't use "social media" a lot.
