I don't turn up under my "day to day" informal name that everyone knows me by, but searching by my full formal (ie, "paperwork") name came up big and bright. What was MOST creeptastic was that it connected my full formal name to my email address, which two items I've never connected -- the "name" attached to that email address is my informal name. How the heck did they make that connection? The only way I can think of is if they have access to my hosted server registration (my DNS records are under someone else's name, so a simple reverse lookup wouldn't make this connection).
I may actually have to pay their fee to get a full picture of just how badly I'm exposed. And I thought I was leaving a small footprint! And I've always been careful to keep my email addresses and my "resume name" separate.
