Apparently about half the adults online have looked either themselves up or someone else on the internet according to the findings of the Pew Internet & American Life Project. I find this a little surprising. I expected the percentage to be a lot higher, especially if we are just talking about people who use the internet on a regular basis. I don't know of anyone who hasn't typed their name into Google to see what comes up.
It's also a good idea to do before you meet someone for the first time on a date. It could give you a little bit of insight on their life. Just remember there is a lot of people out in the world with the same name!
