Have you been "Googled"??

The new search engine to find people on the internet is Facebook. So here is a question for you, do you know if anyone has "Googled" you to reconnect with you? Let me tell you it is wierd and cool all at the same time. Well I have been googled twice this month and then receiving a wonderful surprise when I read my comments from my blog site. Earlier this month, a guy I had met in Cancun remembered I had a blog site and tried googling me to see if he would get any hits. Sure enough my blog site address popped up. Last night same thing happened. It took me a second or so to put a face to a name - voila!! It was Lisa childhood friend who lived across the street from me - I had lost contact with her - I don't know maybe 15-20 years - she wondered where I was and she googled me and found my blog site.

Okay, here is the kicker. A week before either of these surprise comments left on my blog site I had wondered how they were. I had just started doing remote coding and I was coding for a hospital in Chatham - well that is where Andrew lives. It has been nice catching up with all his goingons too. A couple of weeks ago, a family friend was marrying Lisa's former boyfriend. So you wonder - where is she now? Freaky eh? It's a cool freaky I will say though.

So now my interest is peaked so I googled myself - "Laura Rutherford Thunder Bay" - can't believe this - out of 12, 200 results my blog site was 3rd!!! The funny thing is the #1 web result out of the 12, 200 was from Richard Pepper - who I know from my Dorion Bible Camp days. His entry with my name was explaining his time in Calgary to celebrate Andy's 60th birthday (see 2 entries down done on Sunday June 15, 2008). Richard made mention me - the 8th James kid. I am sorry I find this so funny - the wonders of the internet and all that you can find.
