Internets Time Waster

Tuesday, 1 Betteroff 2006

Yes, indeed, they broke the mold when they put me together:


HowManyOfMe.com
LogoThere are:
0
people with my name
in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?

I used both of the main variants of my first name (Tom and Thomas) in my search. But I have my doubts about the results - this gadget tells me there are no others with my surname in the country, and I know there are a few in the immediate vicinity*. It's still nice to think that I'm relatively unique...

* - Plus, Zabasearch shows some people with my last name in Kully-Fornia, and a Cheesehead in Green Bay, WI - only when I'm looking for my own full name (there are too many references to my surname in their database search to narrow the results enough to display the results - I have to use my first name for it to be displayed).

Tom,

They couldn't find my surname either and I know of at least 40 families with that name

They couldn't find any of my families' names (I tried using all of out first names before finally giving up and blanking it out altogether. And then still coming up empty!

It was a decent try for a QaD* effort. It might be scary to (a) know the truth and/or (b) know that they know and can know quite easily if they really want to...

* - QaD = Quick and Dirty
