@rotation Maybe my internet super-sleuthing is poor.

@rotation Meet me at my local Costa Coffee and we'll talk. You know where that is, right?

@thelastgherkin Oh god what why

@communistprime I don't know! It's a troubling trend. Alternatively, you're all secretly porn stars.

@thelastgherkin I searched my name on my phone and it didn't show any of that! Maybe I have to use normal google...

@communistprime Can you access the full version of Google from a mobile device? I've never tried before so wouldn(t know, but it could be possible since it is with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

@leonkfox Should be able to...not like google is a tough page to load. I'll find out later.

@communistprime @rotation confirmed it is indeed possible :)

@rotation That must make stalking difficult.

@rotation Someone else needed to know, but thanks for confirming it nonetheless :) Woulda been surprised if it wasn't possible considering all those big name websites I mentioned that it did work with. Bar for YouTube though I see no reason to want the full versions from a phone when fustom apps always work so much better. (even with YouTube actually, the only thing I use the full version for is replying to comments)

@rotation Really? As far as I can tell I've been getting the same search results on both the Android app and the website. I could be totally wrong of course. I guess the beauty of using the website the fact you can get it to play then in the app when you click on them anyway (I use flash oy when I have no alternative, plus the videos automatically fit the screen perfectly)

@thelastgherkin It's not autocorrecting to "Retail" is it? If not, I'm going to assume most of those pictures are drawings. Unless you mean my actual name. In which case, at least this means that if an employer tries to Google up my name, they'll get people who don't look anything like me.

@retl Your actual name. (Privacy violated?) And it could work as a plus point if your employer was a strip joint or something.
Tuesday, 12-Jul-11 13:50:39 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin: Dunno if I'd say privacy was violated, since I could have simply opted to not share my name if I didn't want people knowing it. ;p But right, I suppose that's one amusing usefulness of it. No real interest in working as a stripper, though. I'd rather just draw a stripper.
