Vanity ring

Under the theory that Google hits count are more precious than gold in an information society, this ring allows you to show off your notabilty/nobility.

The artist, Markus Kison, has the ring's utility program do a simple Google search on the wearer's name. Unfortunately, this could give a false impression of the user's Internet reputation. For example, I'm not the only artist named Ethan Ham... there's also a photographer Ethan Ham who lives in Austin. I do occasionally wonder how often people looking for one of us finds the other.

Something like Career Distinction (thanks to my dad for that link) might work better when calculating the Google hits for the ring. My rating is 8.8 out of 10 (based on my goal of being "VP, Highly-regarded Consultant or Acknowledged Thought Leader"). What's your score?

Dang!

"Your online identity score is 10 out of a possible score of 10." in the same category as yopu (natch).

Didn't see that one coming.

Cheers,

Nice... I checked out Ben's score and he's a 10, too. I guess I have some catching up to do :)
