If you do a Google image search and type in your username (provided it is not a very common word) the images that come up will be your own avatar as well as the avatars of other people that post at your message boards.
Should this have been obvious to me before I did it?
Not necessarily…I did however put my name in the Google search engine a few weeks ago and it brought up links to my posts in ILP.
I knew it did that actually, I was just a little surprised about the images.
I wonder if a user posts a video if doing a video search with the username will link to the post with that video.
It should do the same thing. Check it out and see.
I just googled “smears”. I dunno why, but it made me laugh out loud.
I couldn’t find a picture of me.
It does.
The main problem is that the majority of usernames are not a unique enough identifier and result in such a ridiculous amount of hits that you would have to scroll through forever to find anything related to this site.
I have unwittingly solved this error for myself with the addition of three random numbers to my intended username, though I did not forsee the need for those random numbers at the time, so I will not claim that I did. However, it is for this reason that I suggest that we should all differentiate our usernames by adding some numbers, or maybe an intentional misspelling, or something.
Although it is pretty interesting the way that it is because the non-ILP related hits do give a little bit of insight into the User’s username which would not be so if the username was completely unique.
ilp came up when I typed mine in
as well as other people’s avatars
Hey look! I googled myself an engraving of that Faust guy. Evidently, he didn’t get good taste in wardrobe in the deal.
PAP Smears, right?
For crying out loud, I just googled myself “arcturus rising” and came up with my response to Magsj 2 days ago in word association. I don’t think I like this at all!
Is this worse than that button that reveals what we are all doing in ILP?
This leads to an even much more important question in ILP that I think I will try to find out for myself…a little investigating… ](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7c349bf1053f368a5729d053e1e91215f22ce66c.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
No way, this is excellent!!!
It’s free promotion for ILP.
Let’s say that someone is trying to Google search, “Pepperoni Pizza,” and they accidentally type in, “Arcturus Rising,” they would be directed to this website!!!
