I too have a dream... {sniff} and it has been fulfilled!

[Ed Hansberry]

<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=ed+hansberry">http://www.google.com/search?q=ed+hansberry</a><br /><br />To be ranked #1 in Google when you type in my name. For years <a href="http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/corhans.htm">Lorrainne Hansberry</a>, a playwright from the 1950's, was always above my name (usually about 20 times) because the word "ed." would almost always appear on a site about her referring to editor. No longer. Numero 1 and 2 at google. I'm #6 at AltaVista, but who cares about AV. ;-)<br /><br />Thanks Jason! And to all the readers... you love me.... you really really love me..... (hey... this is not near as pathetic as <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=780">this thread</a>... is it?)

Why does the thought of Ed searching Google on a daily basis to determine his self-worth not surprise me in the least?

Ed

I'm curious, if you do a search of your name at Handango, where does it come up :D

Dave

[Master O'Mayhem]

Ed will you still be number 1 if I search on PITA? :)

[Master O'Mayhem]

I'm Number one as well... nya nya!!! :P :P :P :P :P

[entropy1980]

Sweet I am number 1 as well! Woohoo!

[CESkins]

Congrats Ed but if I can be #1 @ google (and I am a nobody) then anyone can be number one. :wink: All kidding aside though, it's pretty cool to top Lorrainne @ least in a Google search. :)

[Paragon]

Hey this is fun! I come up 5,6 and 7.... Paragon Designs

I don't trust version 1.0 releases. I'll wait for the service pack! :P

[Jason Dunn]

Congrats Ed but if I can be #1 @ google (and I am a nobody) then anyone can be number one.


Unless there are others with your name. Look up "Jason Dunn" on Google - there's a large football player named "Jason Dunn" and for the longest time he dominated in the search engines. Now I'm usually #1. Woo hoo! ;-)

[McDeb]

Although I am number one on Google, some woman curling champion with my name (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&querytime=-ZMXjB&q=Debbie+McCormick)is breathing down my neck.

[eric linsley]

well i had to check and im number 10 from our own sight

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eric+linsley&btnG=Google+Search

there is another eric linsley that is beating me

I'll wait till version 1.5565694 ;-)

Congrats to all you number 1 guys (gals?) out there. I come in at a poor third place position :( . Two trace your ancestors deals top me. Oh well, can't have everything :D.

[marlof]

I just checked, and I take position 1 til 36 or something. Sometimes it pays off to have a weird name. :)

[DrtyBlvd]

Wow. 1 through 9. :!:

Marlon - Is that you in the pic? Nice hair style :lol:

[marlof]

Nope, it's not me. I'm pretty sure on of the Thoughts readers will recognize this picture, and will inform you what it is.

[Ed Hansberry]

Nope, it's not me. I'm pretty sure on of the Thoughts readers will recognize this picture, and will inform you what it is.

I am pretty sure that is one of the guys from "The Monkees." ;-)

[Paragon]

The guy plays loud music, does drugs, chases women, and has wild parties.... Hmmm come to think of it I think the guy in the picture does to.

Dave

[Ken Mattern]

Hey Ed,

If the first 10 I've got 8 of them! I don't do Glocks and I don't know about the blue one either! A bunch of my references are thanks to Jason! Maybe we ought to get Jason to post all of our names in one long list. Then we'll all be famous for a day!

Isn't that George Harrison?

[Zagleft1]

Great. Searching zagleft1 turned up 0 results. I don't evidently exist. Who is writing this?

[Ed Hansberry]

......................

Hmmm... something must be wrong with our database. There seems to be a zagleft1 user, but nothing ever actually gets posted.... just some ghost account. :lol:

[DrtyBlvd]

Ahhh Come on marlof admit it's you, you sexy beast you. :wink:

[Paragon]

Spinal Tap?

Dve

[Steven Cedrone]

Yes, it's Nigel Tufnel from "Spinal Tap".... :D

[Paragon]

Do I win a prize? Oh wait.... it's not one of their CD's is it. :D

Dave

[marlof]

Yes. It's Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel. I figured that if Jason took a comic character, and Ed his favorite car, I'd take one of my all time favorite movie characters.

And Paragon: your price is the ability to officially download some of their great songs like Hell Hole and Big Bottom from http://www.spinaltap.com/mp3s.html . ;)

[Paragon]

Oh No they're "Back from the Dead" :D I should really share this prize with cedrones since he got his name right.

Thanks Marlof

Dave

[Gerard]

'Samija' gets me #1 on Yahoo! and Google. Cool. Guess folks must be visiting my little site. :) Funny that my own site gets fewer results than my reviews on PocketNow though...
BTW; Thanks tons for the Spinal Tap links!!!

[Dave Beauvais]

(Reply inspired by this thread (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20709).)

I fill most of the first page of results of a search for "Dave Beauvais" (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22dave+beauvais%22&btnG=Google+Search) -- including the number one spot -- and also found quite a few references to me on the next several pages. Some of them refer to another Dave Beauvais, but most of it is all me, baby! ;)

It's always a little freaky to find something you wrote over a decade ago archived in some deep, distant database. :) There were also a couple results from the McGraw-Hill site where a friend of mine imortalized me in a series of Microsoft Office college textbooks. :)
