I google you....

On the weekend, the 20 somethings on the trip (me, Henry, Babaak, Jen and Dorothy) were discussing the phenomenon of googling. We came onto this topic because Babaak wanted to know the correct spelling of my name so that he could look up some of my writing on the Internet.
Everyone confessed to googling other people. It's something you do to learn more about others. Henry told me that there is some form of google web engine, which will match your results with the results of someone else. This is so people can feel more popular, I guess.
We also acknowledged that most people get a small thrill if they have more google hits than enemies or exes.
Most people will admit that they google others, and then blush.
In some ways, googling is the masturbation of the 2000s. Everyone does it, but everyone is embarassed about it.
