Googlenym
July 24, 2004
JOHO -- One of my Googlenyms is "Irish Typepad." Another is "sunny southeast." The most interesting Googlenym about me is "refused leave to land." Although some readers might like to know I work with the happiest girl in Ireland.
I got the word "Googlenym" from David Weinberger who tells people phrases to help them find people through Google. That's important for me because people cannot spell my surname. In Weinberger's case you can google "weinberger and joho" and he's the first entry. Likewise chris and gonzo puts Rageboy at the top, and worst and president brings up, well, take a guess.
David Weinberger -- "Googlenym" via Doc Searls whose Googlenym might be "doc blog."
"Googlenym" is spreading. Current count: 288 (30 Jul 04).
