The Power of Names [/misc]
I think it's an old folk belief that if you posess someone's name, you also have power over them. Has anyone noticed that this is taking on a whole new range of meaning with the rise of the Internet? Almost on instinct now, I've noticed both me and my friend google people's names the second we learn of them. Sure, not everyone has a strong digital presence, but I've had a success rate of maybe 90% or so. So here we are, able to dig information up on people before they ever offer it to us in person, just by googling their names....
