It’s true. I’ve googled people as well, especially at work, as I wanted some background
info on them so I could ask them questions and such about their work (which was interesting,
in the area of planning). Anyway, when i congratulated them on some previous achievements, and
questioned them, I think they were surprised, and uncomfortable, unfortunately…

I confess to Googling people occasionally. It’s still somewhat difficult unless you happen to know a few details about a person, unless the person either happens to have a substantial online presence, or they happen to have a very uncommon name. With reference to the article, it seems as though it wouldn’t be too difficult to counteract the smearing by simply getting your friends to link to your own home page with your name, volume still counts with Google. I enjoy the fact that googling for my name returns my LlamaTown webpage I made for a class in my first year.
