QotD: Search Me

How well does your name Google? Who are you up against? (Celebrities, etc.)
Submitted by Matt Blank.

Heh, doing a google search for "Matt Jones" (with quotes) returns some 563 thousand results, Matt Jones (without quotes) returns some 25.5 million results.  I'm not very original am I?  Fortunately my blog (Random Acts of Verbiage) usually comes up in the top 10 for both... at least for now... The www mattjones com domain doesn't come up in the search because it sucks and I wish the guy that owns it... I'm guessing his name is Matt... would either make it cool or let me have it!  I like my domain and all, but having mattjones would be cooler.  One thing that I am somewhat proud of (I guess) is that if you google Matt there are 121 million results, I am #89.  Yeah, not great, but there are LOTS of famous Matts out there!

I am up against a few famous Matt Jones'; the most notable would be Matt Jones - American Football Player from the University of Arkansas who now plays with the Jacksonville Jaguars (he looks pretty intense).  Most of the Matt Jones images are the football player (I show up at #17), however, with a "Matt Jones" image search a picture of me at Regent comes up at #3.

Sometimes I wish I had an original name... but usually I'm just fine with it.

UPDATE:  I decided to check my sometimes pen-name and username: Mattithyahu (877 results).  The first result is for a name meaning website (my name, Matt/Matthew, is derived from the Hebrew name Mattiahyhau), the second result is from some European and Nigerian business (sounds like some company you would get spam from telling you that they are going to transfer 21million dollars into your bank account...), 3-8 are me, 10-14 me again, 18-20 yep, 27 is me mentioned on another bloggers site, 32-33 me again, and 39 is me here at Vox. Ok, that isn't interesting any more... ;)
