55 Ways to have fun with google - 1

From Lessig's blog, I found 55 ways to have fun with google. It's downloadable here under a creative commons license.

Over the next 137 days, I will pick up one way a day and have fun with it on this blog.

Today, it's the day for egosurfing. While I have occasionally done searches on people's names, I have never added a "is" to the end of the name. Doing so does throw up good descriptions of people.

Let's see how some denizens of my current blogroll 'are' according to Google.

* Results of "Anand is" are either about Vishy Anand or about CEOs. At least we now know that Anand's going to rise pretty high in life.
**Actually 'Amit' is, like 'Anand' also too common, but unfortunately, "Amit Varma is" quite boring leads to boring results all pertaining to the man himself.
