Here's a fun little find for a Friday. If you have a Google Profile and you're logged in to your Google account, search for the word me. Your profile will come up as the top result. This is great if you get amnesia.

Same for me here in Germany. Google thinks I am 'Mobile Me', 'The ME Association' or 'Down for everyone or just me?'!

Here's a fun thing to try: If you try Googling "Dale Cruse" you'll get several pages of results about me! Try it!

Just in case anyone was still wondering if the "me" thing worked in France : no, it's not. Looking for "moi" brings some interesting insights on the french society, though...

It might not be coming up if your profile isn't eligible to be listed. There's a minimum amount of info you need to put in before Google lists your profile.
