Cindy, I had to chuckle at your comment, given that it has taken so long to get a response to this topic, I wondered if people are hesitant to admit or if they just don't do it.
I find that many of us spend a great time on line updating web sites, participating and contributing to an array of forums and blogs. These are the areas we have control over, but as I pointed out before sometimes your name or even image can land someplace which you have no idea about unless you "google yourself". Isn't it better to be aware of what your on-line persona says about you than to be negatively surprised?
By the way in the radio interview it was pointed out that if another party refuses to delete something about you on their web site, there are professional companies that can be hired to help you. It also helps to create new posts and join free sites that allow you to upload inforamtion about yourself. Apparently the more new entries are created they push old ones from the 1st pages to latter ones.
On this topic, might I remind everyone to check their guest book entries regulary. Sales people for all sorts of things, love to leave comments in guest books, such as : "Your artwork is really nice. Contact me if you need Viagra"
Kimberly, I really had to laugh at your post. It is fun to see what's out there. Now you might have to add a line to your site stating: "In no way related to Kimberly Dow the Fugitive"!
