C’mon, everyone that has access to the internet has probably “Googled” themselves at least once.  

My “short” name (Brad Wilson), unfortunately, is extremely common, and I’m not going to peruse all 500k+ entries Google found to see where I fall in. 

Googling “Bradley Wilson”, however, brings up a reference to my Devhood Public Page (click here) in 15th place.  Haven’t touched it since 2002, but I’m sure if I could remember my username and password to go in and update it, I’d get my page rank back up there (doubt to #1 tho, but maybe to the top 10 on the first page?).

“Bradley Everett Wilson” (in quotes) wins the lot, bringing “about 90” entries, all of which are of me, or pages that sourced info from other pages, my imdb.com profile being the main one.  It is quite funny to see I’m listed on the “Who’s Dated Who” celebrity listings as having dated the uber famous and beautiful Kimberly Blunck (now Wilson :) in 2002.

So, here are some major sites that have info on me (click ‘em to go to my info):

Devhood

Internet Movie Database

Mission.net

Facebook Public Search Listing

One reason why I’m doing this is so I can update all the info on me found on the web, in case any long lost friend tries to get in contact with me (although Facebook has already reconnected me with quite a few already).  

The main reason, however, is to follow the counsel from Elder Ballard about using New Media and putting references to the Gospel and our affiliation with the Church on our blogs and websites, so someone would convict me of being LDS if they Googled me.

If I had endless amounts of time, I’d try to scour the entire web and bring back any reference to me, or info about me, or published by me.  People are into figuring out their carbon footprint these days...well, I want to figure out my “WorldWideWeb footprint” (yes, I just coined that, but it wouldn’t surprise me if someone already has before me...better Google it to make sure :)
