In relation to my previous item I Googled my name. It's a pretty common one, so I was surprised to see this site appearing as the 29th match. Looked again today and I'm up to number 7! Checking their cached version of the site I see that it doesn't find my name on the site itself, but in links from elsewhere. I'm trying to find out what those might be. Maybe claimID has had an effect already.
I don't tend to include my full name anywhere on this site, but it is on various sites I've registered on and some of those will link back here. I also don't publish my email address here, but still get lots of spam. This may be due to the address appearing in my FOAF file and in my GPG key on the keyservers. Thankfully the assassin takes care of most of the junk.
