I just received an email from a buddy asking (very nicely) if I could remove a YouTube video of a talent show performance he and I were both involved in last year. I completely understand his reasoning, and I think it might be better for me, too, that it’s removed (there was nothing questionable about it, it was just really goofy, and I do need to get a job one of these days). So the video’s offline now. But that got me thinking about what else people might be able to find out about me online. I Googled myself. Here are the relevant hits, in the order they show up:
- my little website at http://www2.hawaii.edu/~emilyb
- something about the Linguistic Society of Hawaii
- the Kentridge High School Calculus Alumni page (cool, I know!)
- my member profile for the International Museum of Women
- a question I sent to an endangered language listserv
- this blog
- my Twitter profile
- the information page for a Russia study abroad program I did
- a book notice I wrote for a language journal
- the Graduate Student Organization website
- an old English learning podcast I had put together a few years ago
- an old newspaper article listing National Merit Scholar semifinalists
- an article about the Kentridge High School golf team
Really, nothing to be worried about anyone seeing, and a few things to be proud of. Nice.
