After reading this post about the 10 things google knows about you I did some ego surfing and noticed something peculiar in the results page:

1. The first link is to my blog. As expected.
2. The second link is to my company. Okay.
3. The third link is to photos on Flickr tagged with my name. I don't think that this page has ever been linked by anyone (I didn't and I don't see why anybody else should have), how did it get up here?
4. This is a search for my name on Technorati. Again, is quite unlikely that anybody linked this, I didn't.
5. A link to the delicious page with my tag. Notice that the resulting page is empty, nobody ever tagged anything "Paolo Valdemarin", meaning that google is quite likely making this URL up.

It almost looks like Google figured out that the search is about a Blogger type of person and is providing links accordingly. Has anyone noticed something similar?

I'm back from three relaxing weeks during which I did nothing of what I had originally planned to do and I'm quite happy about it :-)

Just a few random links and thoughts:

Dave is doing rivers of news. Now: I have been reading news in this format on my cellphone for quite some time and a few other people did this too. The news here is that now everybody will have access. Awesome ;->

Matt is announcing the beta release of PAOGA, a new identity management application on the side of users and not companies. I have always liked their idea, the challange will be taking it to a critical mass.

Would you believe that Blogtalk is a only little more than a month away? I must start planning the trip to Vienna.
