brian's blog

Saturday, October 13, 2007

This blog has been near (or at) the top Google result for "brian glick" for a few years now - probably due more to link spam my blog used to get than due to any genuine online notoriety.

Now it's finally starting to get attention from other Brian Glicks (or in this case, a Bryan Glick) who are none-too-happy.

From The importance of the letter Y:

But from a personal point of view, it was slightly disconcerting to find that a search for 'Bryan Glick blog' brings up a top result of 'Brians blog' with the description 'Brian's rambling & insufferably self-indulgent blog of questionable value' !

Brian Glick is from Seattle, and says that he is 'fresh out of school' and 'naively dreams of changing the world for the better.'

There may be those who haven't noticed the difference, but rarely has the 'y' in the spelling of my Christian name been more important. We all vanity-surf at our peril.

To solve this problem, I hereby humbly suggest that all other Brian and Bryan Glicks change their names to something more unique.
