I heard this on the radio this morning and laughed.
The American Dialect Society selected “subprime” as its word of the year for 2007.
But the one I liked was its choice for “most creative” word of 2007 – “googleganger”. a googleganger is “a person with your name who shows up when you Google yourself,”.
So, having heard this term for the first time, I couldn’t resist a good old vanity google to find my googlegangers. I’ve got to say there are stacks of us …. journalists, CEOs, sportsmen, academics, all sorts of people, even the actual real me is on the net. Wow, I’m impressed with how much we get around …. and its not like my name is Smith, or something that common.
So, do you have any interesting/famous googlegangers?
I got me a classical musician,a finance director,a wedding planner and a dead librarian.
I bet she rocked the Dewey decimal system !
