Have you ever “Googled” yourself?

(I actually highly recommend that you do this on a regular basis, but that is another blog post.)

If you have, you were most likely unhappy with the results. Chances are that if you had the ability to determine what people saw there it would look totally different. Google is actually trying to help you do just that with “Google Profile.” Google Profile provides a simple, easy portal for your online identity. When you create a profile, a thumbnail of your information appears at the bottom of U.S. name-query search pages.

Google Profiles allows you to be in control of what you share. You can enter your blog and website as well as links to your social networking sites.  Today, Google Profile is still relatively new, but I suspect that one day profiles will be listed at the top of the search listings.  So create yours today!

Note: You need to have a Google account to create the profile.  If you need a Google account you can sign up here.
