Search in Google: Do a search for “Firstname Lastname” (include the quotes) and see if anyone is talking about you. I have about 21K websites that have my name listed on them in some way. I’m popular, I feel special – now if I could only get past having only 2 friends in MySpace.

AOl Stalker: Remember when AOL did that bonehead thing and release search data from 1000′s of its users? This website lets you search through what others have searched for. Anyone search for you? I downloaded the entire 600K search log but never did anything with it. I was truly amazed on what some people search for – kinda of scary…

ZabaSearch: This search knew of most places that I lived with phone numbers and addresses.

Name Statistics: See how popular your first and last name is. Accurate? Don’t hold your breath.
