Is search done yet? Quick, find a list of 100 bloggers. Now, quick, tell me what their email addresses are.
You can find mine pretty easily. Just go to Google or MSN or Yahoo and type:
Scoble email
And you’ll find it within the first few links. Why? Cause I put my email on my home page. It’s amazing how hard many bloggers make it to find their email address. I should just be able to go to your home page and search for the @ character and find your email address.
But, this all got me thinking. What if we could get things into search engines? What if we could just post one post with all the stuff you’d want to appear in Google or MSN or Yahoo for when people search for your name? Wouldn’t that be cool? I think so. It’d let me get some sleep.
Oh, and if you think I have a deep rolodex? You’d be confusing me with Buzz Bruggeman. I’d rather just find you in a search engine. If I can’t find your email address in a search engine? Well, then, I can’t invite you to cool things, can I?
Here’s my post for the search engines:
Robert Scoble’s email: rscoble@microsoft.com
Robert Scoble’s cell phone: 425-205-1921
Robert Scoble’s mailing address: 1 Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052
Robert Scoble’s birthday: 1/18/1965
Robert Scoble’s best friend: Dave Winer
Robert Scoble’s significant other: Maryam Ghaemmaghami (married November 2, 2002).
Robert Scoble’s offspring: Patrick Scoble (born January 14, 1994).
What else should we put into the search engines? Yeah, I’m doing this just to see what’ll happen on my search query. By the way, have you searched for your name lately on Google? They’ve been displaying more stuff lately.
[...] Scoble has me thinking of all the reasons not to post my personal information all over my blog. [...]
[...] Not only that, but smart people are now willing to share with you (and everyone else online) far more details that I’m comfortable with just yet. Robert Scoble recently posted a stack of personal details, including his mobile phone number, on his website. He was mostly appealing to the rest of the bloggersphere to include their email address on their blog homepage, but it raised a pretty interesting discussion around why you may or may not want to do this (check out the comments following the post). I’m not quite up to handing over my mobile phone number, just yet. [...]
Wow. That best friend part probably just drove a knife through a bunch of hearts and egos.
Interesting read, though.

[...] When I saw the announcement I immediately thought of a post that Scoble wrote where he talks about posting your personal information online for easy searching and retrieval. I think Google pages may do well to serve this type of function. This could be the one stop source for links to various sites and blogs that you are part of as well as more personal information such as your current email(s), place of employment, home address, favorite color, etc. [...]

MY LATE FATHER DIVERTED SOME HUGE OF MONEY WHICH WAS CONCEALED IN A

MAXIMUM SECURITY/SAFETY OF THE MONEY AND NO BODY NOR GOVERNMENT

Please find another provider. Hotmail accounts receive so much spam anyway, so you are probably better of without it.
