See, I’m not the only one who does it… When my phone rings and I don’t recognize the number, I quickly type a search on the computer to see where the call is coming from. If it’s a place I recognize and am expecting a call, I answer it. Otherwise I’m sorry to say that I let it go to voice-mail (I’m sorry but when you have many profiles online we get our fair share of solicitations).

And yes I google people I’m going to meet. I try to learn as much about them as I can It’s just good business.

Thanks, Pavel. I hadn’t done that in a while.

Noticed you’re blogging now, too – the cville re blog world grows …

As Ben said – “If I can’t find you online, I get a little weirded out.”

I google lots of different kinds of people. Job applicants, contractors, freelancers, co-presenters, etc. If I can’t find you online, I get a little weirded out. You need to be “on the grid” or it’s almost as if you don’t really exist in my mind.
