Murder, Google and me
Mark at Depth Reporting points to a Wall Street Journal story on Googling yourself.
For people prone to vanity searching -- punching their own names into search engines -- absence from the first pages of search results can bring disappointment. On top of that, some of the 'un-Googleables' say being crowded out of search results actually carries a professional and financial price.
Not me. Of the 1,190,000 pages returned, No. 1 under John Robinson is a 21-year-old actor. Yeah, whatever. He'll be flippin' burgers at 23.
No. 2 and this is what I'm talking about: John Robinson: In the end, picking the wrong sex partner brought the downfall of John E. Robinson, Sr., and exposed one of the most bizarre and lengthy homicidal careers in American criminal history.
Now that's a claim to fame. Or infamy.
