I've got your ego right here, buddy!

By jstemwedel on April 1, 2006.

Oh wait, it looks like I don't ...

GrrlScientist, the resident online quiz maven, points us to the online tool EgoSurf. Said tool does a "deep search" with the search word you provide, looking for links to the domain you indicate (like, for example, your weblog).

So, I went egosurfing with this site, using both my nom de blog and my real name as the search terms. As you'll see from the results (below the fold), I might have an easier time letting go of my ego than some of my sibling bloggers because ... well, there's less to let go of.

3032 ego points (as Dr. Free-Ride)

3870 ego points (as Janet Stemwedel)

Clicking those buttons lets you monitor the current level of my online ego ... not that I expect you're really interested in that. Because, this is me we're talking about, not someone important.

Sorry to have bothered you with this ...
