Does Your Mom Google You?

Monday, July 17th, 2006 by Andy Beal

Interesting story in this weekend’s LA Times tells the tale of a writer who dissed their mother in a 2004 LA Weekly article.

The mother recently went high-speed, started “Googling”, found the story and subsequently stopped talking to the daughter.

Let this be a warning to you all. And may you all be blessed with a mother as wonderful as mine (hi Mum!)

Andy, you forgot to tie this story to your Online Reputation Monitoring Guide. This story is a funny (at least for me, my mom is still taking to me) reminder to all that a negative comment can have lasting effects.

LOL – I figured readers have learned they should use our ORM guide by now.
