I Facebook searched my last name. There were way more profiles with my last name than I thought, very surprising.
About a week ago, a friend asked me about something I put on pinterest. One small problem...I'm not ON pinterest. Or Linked in. Or My Space. Or Twitter. I did a search on my name, and there are at least 15 people with my name out there. Not identity thieves...real people...I looked through their stuff. It's kind of weird to be, because the spelling of my first & last name are not super common (like Mary Smith, or Jane Brown). And here I always thought I was an original!
