I’m catching up with iWire, the iSociety’s ever-thought provoking and entertaining weblog and it pointed out a new Google game Steven Johnson invented – Googleshare. Take a concept you think you are associated with and see how many pages you find when you search. Then combine those search terms with your own name and find the (much smaller) number. Divide the second number by the first and that’s your Googleshare of that concept.
It’s a pretty rough and ready measure, but fun to do. For the record, my googleshare of “blog” is minuscule – 0.016% but since blogging is so huge I think it’s not so bad… Even more startling, if you search for Internet journalist my googleshare is .05% but my weblog is in third place!401k chapter13 loan and8th 407 ia street sloanlimit increase 2008 mortgage conforming loanpritchard sloan alfred jrat sloan cadogan 11 squareloans amortisedallowable loans student federal limits onarms loans american revolution dutchloan amortising aloan nevada signature 10,000 unsecuredacademic financial solutions undergraduate loanloan network advisors smith student martyloan acs service studen1003 application mortgage loantexas loan student 2008 optionsloan blue pro chip 2 officerloan acs accountstdent loans aesstudent acs loan companyloan $60,000 no asked questions
