Mighty Joe's Google Links - Tried and True!

UPDATE 5.9.06
It occured to me that most people would and should be very interested in what an internet search with their name in it pulls up. Even if it isn't you, you should know about it. Mostly because the internet is used as a tool by law enforcement, insurance companies, and available to anyone who wants to profile you. Information is so easy to get now that someone with an axe to grind can query the net for your information and pick up everything that is available and associated with your name. This could include court records, housing costs, maybe even a blue print of your home. Your internet identity is becoming a representable part of yourself, a responsibility to know about. So query for yourself and your loved ones and see what is out there. Even if it isn't you, someone might think it is you! Your internet ID will become a part of your responsible identity in the future. It will become standard to have your portfolio and resume online along with details of your accomplishments. Some day there may be a "standard id that you have to keep up on the internet maybe you will have to use it to log on. How about that!

I use this service a lot. I have several queries set up and Google Alerts automatically does the search and then sends me a link with the results every week. Over time you learn to modify your search to eliminate the junk. I have a search with my name in it and there is a mayor with the same name so I change my quote and added -mayor...

This is a really handy service. To do it you need to sign up for the "customized google service". Google has to have your email address so it knows where to send the results...
