But it just seems wrong to doom a kid to a lack of privacy in this way. There are plenty of other ways to become findable if it’s deemed desirable.

There’s an actor named Joe Flood (he shows up in iMdB) as well as a musician who seems to be increasing in popularity. I have joeflood.com and Joe Flood the musician has joeflood.net (I really should’ve registered that years ago). One day I’m #1 in google and the next day he is. He’s better known than I am but I’ve been on the web longer. He’s got a flash site while I just turned my site into a WordPress blog. It’s an interesting little SEO experiment.

The self-employed John and Jane Does of the world should probably cook up a distinctive name for their business and use it constantly next to their real name. Alternately, creating a blog with a distinctive name can give them a Google alias that follows them around from employer to employer.
