4.22 Out of 5 Isn’t Bad

Every so often (just because I like to scare myself) I will conduct a Google search on my own name.

As time has gone on and the state of technology, social media, and electronic record-keeping has broadened my footprint out there, my search results have resulted on more and more detail.

The results range on a scale that starts at surprising and extends all the way through to disturbing.

This morning, for fun, I threw my name into a search one more time.

There is a surprising amount of detail about me (and, I would guess, you) out there on the wires and inside remote servers.

At one site, I discovered I have a “reputation score” of 4.22.  I guess that’s pretty good.  The highest score on the scale was a 5, and a graphic located on the page upon which I landed clearly indicated my score was good.

Here is a “snip” of the graphic:

Sadly (possibly fortunately), my reputation score is based on only a single review.

For about 15 seconds I considered figuring out how I could give myself a second reputation review.  But, instead, I found a few photographs of me and glanced at those.

Not good.

Rather, as my buddy Rodney says: ungood.
