Hey meeks Googleing someone seems a bit like stalking to me.........I mean, what usefull information could you possibly hope to find out about someone ? The trouble with Google would be, that you get them confused with someone else, Eg like when i Googled Meeka's ass !...........I was redirected to a kim kardishains website, requesting credit card info.....

Nope.Never.Sorry, I just couldn't I'd feel like I was sitting outside their bedroom window peeking or something... icky...I also have a terrible habit of using whatever name the person gave me first, indefinitely... even years down the track, I still refer to/call some friends by their handles rather than their names! Mind you, I also answer as readily to my main online nick as I do to my real name lol.I think you have a healthy respect for other people's possible boundaries... but that could just be me and my boundaries talking.

I know what you mean Brat. I am friends with some RHPers on my everyday ( all my family can see) Facebook and I always get called Meeks. Lucky it ain't too different to what my family & friends call me, which is Mick or Micky. But I finally figured out the privacy settings so that I can be naughty on FB without everyone seeing. :-) I think a lot of women will say that they google men for safety reasons which is a good idea. But I have friends who come home after a first date or if they know names prior, google these guys and they can find out so many things about them. Where they work, where they live and stuff about their family. A bit freaky really!!! Meeka

I have never googled or looked for people on facebook....come to think of it, I don't even go out of my way to find out people's last names....I don't really see the point and I agree with you Meeka, googling people like that is a little creepy.xx Salina

No and I would feel just wrong doing it too. I think you have to give someone a chance to tell you about themselves, we're in such a rush to know the ins and outs of everything these days. All it does is feed insecurities about "Why hasn't he told me this yet?" ummmm you haven't given him time derrrr It's got to stuff up the natural progression of a relationship when it's still in the building stages at least, if you think about it really......the times when you both open up to each other are like milestones...it lets you know where you're at within the relationship. So nup......don't google

To be honest I'd never thought about Googling anyone! I know there is info about everyone now online - however, when I just tried googling myself (to test the theory of course) I came up as a British film star...(hmmmm) I guess my point is, that even if I was to Google someone I met online, there is no guarantee that it is the real info...

Nope I am obviously unique. First 6 entries are links to me and certain profiles and there are only two entries in NSW in the white pages for my last name. Too easy to find me :(

I really suggest people google their own names and see what's out there. Sometimes it's quite an eye opener. I know there is another guy with the same first name/last name in the states who has a criminal record come up (different date of birth though). I tend to cautious about what I put up on the net. I don't use Facebook or twitter for that reason.

...as it is just as likely to give you some very wrong information or at the least, information that you could interpret incorrectly. If I am that concerned about someone...I would usually just write them off anyway. | Besides, if you spend a little time on Gargle, look at what other software is available out there and that offer tutorials on YouTube for how to use them...you will start to understand that the internet really is a very public domain. | *shrugs* ...I didn't find anything about you having butt implants. That sexy ass of yours must be real.

You were lucky to get a couple of hundred hits on a topic you put into your search engine. These days you get a couple of hundred thousand!! Good luck getting through the crap and nonsense to find yourself amongst the other dozen people with the same name.

You are so hilariously right... | Quoting 'MistressT'...to find yourself amongst the other dozen people with the same name. I come up as a retired Senator, several lawyers, a few dentists and a small time philanthropist. Maybe we should kind of wander off topic and post in what we get when we Google ourselves? | PS...I am not a dentist. I would hate me.

Interesting topic ........... let's see. With the people I have met on here, I am totally satisified with the information they personally give me and would never want to seek further information on them. If I had reservations about them, I simply would not continue talking with them and certainly would never meet. I believe in being open and honest and if I ask someone something and they don't want to tell me, I'm sure they'll say. And in return, same applies. But, human nature being what it is, who knows, one day I might have a burning desire to Google someone, and I might find something I don't want to see, or I might find something that protects me. But for now, I am comfortable that the people I talk with are genuine and have a good understanding about my need for privacy, and they are discreet. You treat someone how you wish to be treated yourself. And I wouldn't be upset if someone might want to try and Google me (I'm pretty damn boring but I am on Google I think twice - HUGE presence - NOT), I don't have a Facebook presence either because I'm very anti public social networking sites. I guess if people have information in the public domain they have to be prepared to be "found". It comes down to what people do with that information though.

There would have to be a good reason for me to google someones name...and I have in the past. I didn't know what I was looking for but the gut feeling at the time was 'he is not telling you everything J". But I found nothing. Perhaps I was looking for an excuse to break up with him.....don't know, it was a while ago now. . And if people google me, they'll find me :-) .

I'm a googler... the counselling has managed to get me to the point of just googling people and my group tells me I am making a lot of progress because I haven't gone through someone's rubbish bin in quite some time. I have also stopped parking out the front of peoples houses at night. Real progress will be made when I stop googling people and just look for them on MySpace. I mean the odds of finding ANYone on that is pretty remote now!! . I don't mind being googled, because my name is unique enough for me not to get mixed up with any serial killers or politicians and it kinda tickles. Bit like having your eyeball licked.

Don't really see the harm in googling people -altho I haven't done it. I would have to draw the line there tho I think in the snooping department. All that came up when I googled my name was a bunch of nice girls , I'm pretty sure I'm the only guy with my name lol

Usually no, sometimes yes. It depends on what I've been told, what I feel about what I've been told, and where the conversation is headed.

As if nobody does it for the marginal voyeuristic urge...?A rational person should be aware of what they make public and expect it to be accessed by anybody in any context. I don't see the moral issue with 'google-stalking', it seems to be becoming a naturalised (and kind of sexy) dynamic of online social interaction. Forunately we have the benefit of maintaining a facade (for want of a better word) in this 'RHP context'... the point at, and extent to which we choose to break this down is the real question! The whole concept of this anonymous/stalking cyber masquerade appeals to me.

I googled my name 3yrs ago and got a hell of a shock. I didn't know there were many of us with the same name. The name is German, but I encountered a massive social club comprising of hundreds of branch offices right across America. It is highly organised and almost everyone with that name in America is a member of the club.

As for googling people from RHP, considering the messages, suggestions and offers I've had, I'm way too busy giggling at them.

I dont like having too much information on the people I meet from here. I mostly know their first names, mobile number and/or email address. Thats it, and thats the way I like it. No way could I ever google someone. I am only sleeping with them, why do I need to know about their lives? And as others have said, you cant always be sure the information is not about someone else with the same name As a user of Facebook mobile tho, I was wondering why I was getting recommendations to add people that I didnt know. Well it turns out I did know them (kind of). They were people from RHP that I had been chatting with by text. Facebook was syncing with my contact list, as most people have a phone number listed on their fb page For people who like to protect their privacy and dont want to reveal their surnames, you should be aware that this is happening, so take your number off your facebook page

Had to get myself knowledge of what i was in for when i liked RHP. thankfully my privacy settings are such that only friends can see my info and noone can add me who is not already got some mutual friends with me. Can't be too careful with what is out there

Can't be too careful with what is out there I understand that part, but facebook was actually pushing through friend suggestions of people that I text chat with, even though they have high privacy settings. I myself have mine set to the highest setting but someone let me know the other night that they had me show up as a friend suggestion to them. My issue is that I dont give my surname, nor do I ask for the names of people who I meet. But now this person and whoever else facebook has suggested me to know my surname. I know its not a big deal for some people but I like my privacy

I have no problem with people googling me. All they're likely to find is my FB page, a couple of geeky articles published on a couple of R/C and scale modelling sites, and my history as a WAPL poker player. Oh, and somebody wrote a bit of fantasy ala Harry Potter, and my name was used....but that could have been anybody.I don't make a habit of googling other people, though.....I figure if they want me to know something, they'll tell me.
