Some think of Google as the ultimate Big Brother, and with good reason. If you use Google (and most of us do), Google potentially has your email history, your complete search history, your travel routes, your interests, and more.

However, turning up in Google search results is a whole different story. As Wired's How-To Wiki says, "any schmuck can find out more about you than you'd like by typing only your first and last name."
