Google.. what a powerful word.
A few months back, I was in a meeting with our Distributor here in Indonesia, PT Sari Ayu Indonesia who distributes Cycles (Mild Laundry Detergent for Babies) and Beach Hut (Clear Spray Sunblock). I was having a discussion with Ibu Pauline Djasmin, a BIG fan of google (she Googles almost everything she is curious about) when she popped out a question that slapped me back to the stone age.
"Ever tried to Google your name before?"
I was shocked. After all these years of surfing, I have never, not even once, tried to Google my name. And you bet I did, the moment i got home and I wasn't a wee bit surprised by the search results. There are just too much David's, Jay's, and Gomez's all around the world. I had to use the quote-unquote ("") characters to get results that matched me.
"David Jay Gomez"
And there I was. At least 6 of the 9 links showed by Google were definitely me.
Similar to what my Boss Dennis posted in his "I am not unique" blog, from now on I have decided to be David Jay Gomez. At least with this I have a Friendster result of only 1 (so far).
