[...] We’ve already gone over using Google to search for your brand and other people’s. Technorati is also a great search engine to locate people by blog topic. What we haven’t looked at is people-specific search engines and there are quite a few now. My two favorites are Twello, which just came out, and Wink. Twello is a personal brand locater for Twitter. It works much better than Twitters search interface and is much cleaner looking. I enjoy Wink because it’s the most accurate of all the people search engines, which isn’t saying too much.

I thought everyone goolged themselves these days. Or mostly it is just I have self-obessed friends. Seriously though, I do google people after I have met them and also very much so if they are approaching looking to supply services etc. It is almost dissapointing to frustrating when there is little there – as I do think it has become a key way of researching and assessing people.

If you google me (Gary Bembridge) most of the 4800 entries are about me, though there is another chap with the same name who works for MSN that gets some mentions. So recently, a bit like actors do a Equity in the UK where you have to have an original name, I am considering adding my 2nd name to my stuff so it is clearly me and not him….
