Will We Tell Elly
On a daily wander through my RSS feeds yesterday I paused to draw breath with the Podcast Sisters.
Being a Friday afternoon they were in playful mood. The game was - a vanity search developed by Chris Anderson of The Long Tail fame.
It was not very difficult all you needed was to insert your name in a box and click the enter button. Hey Presto it measures your Internet fame on a scale of 1 (unknown) to 100 (ubiquitous) -using Google’s PageRank technology.
So how did the three little girls from school rate?
Krishna De - Scored 44
Anna Farmery - Scored 52
Heather Gorringe - Scored 55
I thought I would play a little…. So I picked three names at random from my Blogroll:
Darragh Doyle - Scored 45
Damien Mulley – Scored 57
Ellybabes – Well I’ll let her tell you herself.
Well if you must know how I did….

Grannymar – Scored 44

I did it sensibly (used ” “) and got 0

I do know that I’m a wreck at the bottom of Lake Ontario!

I thought that would amuse you all while I did my shopping.
@Primal - Great for Obama
@Robert - You don’t look 45!
@Grandad - You are as famous as Blog it scored 71 also! Welcome back by the way.
@Magpie - Does that make you a sunken treasure?
@Andy - Don’t tell Bono! How did you get on?
Grandad said,
August 2, 2008 at 12:16 pm
I’m not as famous as Microsoft [72] or Google [81] though.
Welcome back? I wasn’t away….

I think something went horribly wrong, I scored a 57… (50 with -Lewis at the end)
Grannymar said,
August 2, 2008 at 12:25 pm
@Grandad - … and Microsoft and Google are younger than you!
You may not have been ‘away’ away but we have not seen you here for some time.
@David - You still did better than me.
Grannymar said,
August 2, 2008 at 12:26 pm
@Grandad - The ping back above is not working.

I can’t get this song out of my head now!

AJ my mistake. OK AJ?
Will Knott said,
August 2, 2008 at 10:29 pm
I’m getting what appear to be odd results…
Will Knott - 42
Willknott - 43 ????
Willard Knott - 35
Willton Knott - 52
William Knott - 65
Can I add all of these together?
Lette said,
August 2, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Awsome, 49 under my full name and 53 under Lette, cool!! but grannymar, knowing you is like being on the red carpet anyway!!!
Grannymar said,
August 3, 2008 at 9:08 am
@Will - I never thought to try my real life name….
My name as on Birth Cert - 34
My Signature - 49
Losing middle initial – 58
Think I prefer Grannymar – 44 It makes me sound younger
@Lette - It is far from a red carpet I was born!
stwidgie said,
August 3, 2008 at 11:14 am
Well, my real name plus work gets me a score of 66(!). Stwidgie brings in 33. Proving that work ages you dreadfully.
Grannymar said,
August 3, 2008 at 11:28 am
stwidgie
I agree. I am getting younger every day….
or else….
I have gone all the way round the clock, and am now working my way back!

Noooo! A nervous wreck maybe!
Reading all these others I’m going to have another go!
Grannymar said,

Magpie
You are no wreck, just a treasure!
Mike said,

I scored 46 GM
Krishna De said,
August 4, 2008 at 9:49 am
Thanks for sharing that - what’s interesting for me is that the name of my blog rather than my name that you searched on and which points to the same place has a score of 56.
So my blog’s more famous than me!
Looking forward to speaking to you soon on the podcast for PodCamp Ireland.
Best wishes
