More on Googlism.com, one of the links given in my October 2002 BoingBoing summary. |
It will find out what Google.com thinks of you, your friends or anything!. Like a lot of these sort of sites, the first thing I did was type in my own name. It came back saying it didn't know anything about me, boo hoo.
I then tried some other victims choices like
"Tim Bray" and "Jonathan Schwartz", who are well known
personalities, and it came back with much more interesting results.
Surprisingly I tried "James Gosling" and it came back with
Yeah, right. Well it made me feel better knowing that Googlism isn't very accurate. It got me wondering what it's parameters are for returning stuff. I tried a straight Google search of "james gosling is" and got loads of replies like "James Gosling is an alpha geek". Yup, that's better. Maybe it only polls certain sites for hits. Dunno.Sorry, Google doesn't know enough about "james gosling" yet.
Their website doesn't say how they do it. The copyright messages are also dated 2003, so it appears to not be actively worked on.
I obviously now need to let it know something about me, so that next time I go to Googlism, I can have my ego suitable boosted. Google will no doubt crawl over this post about 30 minutes after I send it out the doors. So here we go:

There. That should give it something to think about, although if it didn't find hits for James, I'm not sure what my chances are.
About now, there's also probably a group of those nice young men in their clean white coats coming to take me away (Ha haaa).
