Vanity searching and portrayal

I've just done my vanity search on the internet, it was extremely unproductive in terms of being able to tell anything about me, so I am quite pleased. 
 
What was interesting was the I have namesakes who are variously
  • an international artist
  • Madrid based journalist
  • international actress
  • singer
 and those are just for starters infact, from just a quick scan, I would say that none are information professionals, let alone librarians.
 
Why am I pleased that I'm not on the internet...because I can do without exhusband finding out stuff which isn't his concern.  I am very aware of the potential for reputational effect of posting, so don't come here for salacious news and gossip people.
 
If I did want to be more widely known on the Internet, which I don't, I would be using this for job hunting purposes so my brand would have to be very professional, information person.  I think I had better work on that description a bit more, but I know what I mean.
 
At the moment I am just chuffed that this seems to be working finally...need a cup of tea to recover.
