Apperently, when you look up "Pawel Glab" you get a bunch of dudes in Poland who AREN'T me. However, add in "accounting" to the end of it and you get a bunch of articles about things I've done in newspapers and my participation in Discovery day before going back showing you people in Poland with my name.

I'm very disappointed in Google on its ability to allow people to stalk me.

According to the internet I have many years of experience as a bike frame builder. Maybe I should go apply for some jobs in that field.

Just my first name: Nothing at all related to me.

My last name included pulled up a lot of things, including my DA account and the fact I posted in the Introduction thread once, which is a fact that slipped my mind.

I am the most internet invisible of all of you.

First name: Nothing.

First + Last: Nothing

First + Last + City + State: My highschool, and a single 'people finding' site.

My name on Google pulls up everyone but me, including some putz in Cincinnati who's in marketing.

As for people stealing my information, I've already had that happen to me. Luckily the fucker hadn't charged anything on most of them, and the one he did use had actually tried to contact me at my parents to say they were holding him accountable for the shit. Now, I'm too poor to steal from and the only time I have money is when college loans show up and the bank's good about watching out for weird charges and drafts to accounts people have there...also I've avoided taking out any credit cards since then since I don't trust myself more than I fear someone else using them.

I beat that: abso-fucking-lutely nothing.

Might be because I make it a rule to never use my real name on the interwebz. I think only three people on them even know just my first name.

Yeah, that doesn't help when your high school has a web page.

And those people finding sites use public government records, and then build a database they put online. So if you have a phone number, own a home, file taxes, or have a license, you should show up on them.

They don't.

I don't (don't like phones), I don't, I don't, and I don't (terrified of driving).

I'll probably show up in the future, of course, but I'm good for now.

Considering even your NAME is invisible, I'mma agree with you, Krylo. And yes, I did highlight your name to double-check who you were :P

As for myself, I show up along with some other dude with the same name in Omaha. My Facebook, a couple forums, etc. Nothing potentially dangerous in the future, because I'm *gasp* smart enough to not say anything current/future employers can use via hunting me down!

I don't know what the hell you guys would type up on Twitter/Facebook, but, y'know, stop being retarded. Facebook is a useful networking tool and all, but you need to remember it's not anonymous >.>

There's an article in Wikipedia about guy who has same name as I do. I'm kinda hard to find in Google partly because that I guess. Then there's 56 persons in facebook that share my name. So like good luck trying to find me I guess. (Especially because you don't know my name, I think)

And while my first name is like the most common name in Finland (it's statistical mistake that it's not listed as the most common) I wouldn't feel so annoyed about my name if couple people didn't share my middle name also. Some parents just have this great imagination you know.
