Most of us love to Google about ourselves to keep a tab on what's going public about something our friends or even some unknown folks have written about us online, on chat boards or forums. What you must also know is that a large number of employers / prospective employers also consider this route to do some background checks on their employees before even considering some candidates for an interview on their premises. Well, these can be for good for many and also bad for a few - but nowadays many of us use online aliases to conceal or have a distinctive online identity. For example take my 'jsbi' well - I started out to use jsbi to abbreviate Jason S Bangalore India, now lot of you folks now the url of the website as jsbi.
