Goodbye, Haystack
Before I started working at Mozilla, I used to enjoy my Google-semi-anonymity.
One of the blessings of having a rather common name is that anyone trying to Google me would have to spend several hours sifting through the results.
Today I was looking at referrer stats for this blog and followed a referral link to a Google query for “Paul Kim.” Results below.

This blog is #1 out of 31,800,000 results for “Paul Kim.”
What this says to me:
- Mozilla bloggers have serious search mojo. (Ya feeling me, Asa, Tristan? :-)
- The other Paul Kim’s on page 1 of search results are gonna have to hustle to leapfrog me. Especially the guy with the Sitting on the Toilet blog. (I swear that’s not me.)
- I should consider going the Rodney Allen Rippy route and add a third name to differentiate my brand.
Thank you Mozilla, for the juice.

It was great while it lasted Marco (being number 1 that is). Hopefully the pianist and the Sterling Award winner are happy now. :-)
