New egosurfing tool: preople

I’ve been egosurfing since the early days (not sure if I actually invented the word). It means that you regularly check your online presence. Google was the best and only tool to do that. I was very excited to find out that when you spell my name wrong at Google, you’re asked if you didn’t mean ‘Krijn Schuurman’ :-)
Anyway, a new service has launched by Boris Veldhuijzen Van Zanten and his compagnion: Preople. This is meant to be used to check your name, or someone else’s of course. It’s not clear what the outcome of the calculation means, except that higher is better, I presume. Naturally they act misterious about the mechanism, just like Google does.

By the way, my score (514) is way higher than Boris’s… :-)

    Hello again!

    For me Google doesn’t correct “Krijn Schurman” to “Krijn Schuurman”, but to “Kraijn Schurman”.
    But for my name, it corrects “Hugo Fernblom” to “Hugo Fernbom”.

    Hugo,

    I thought there was only one Google? ;-) Which one are u using? I tried google.ca; same result.

  7. Krijn op 28/03/2005 om 21:08:

    Ah, now I get it. Guess I’m not that famous in Sweden :-)

  8. Hugo Fernbom op 10/04/2005 om 16:50:

    Yes, http://www.google.com/ goes to http://www.google.se/ for me.
    I saw it work for your name at http://www.google.nl/
    When I misspelled my name at http://www.google.ca/ it guesses “Hugo Wernblom”, probably because there is an icehockeyplayer called “Magnus Wernblom”.
