BLADAM - Entry - If someone isn’t in Google, do they exist?

DISCLAIMER: This is my personal blog. The blatherings here aren't (necessarily) the views of the current company I work for, companies I've previously blessed with my presence, my loving parents, the Illuminati, or anyone other than me, me, me!

If someone isn’t in Google, do they exist?

Perhaps I'm just used to having my name splattered all over the net. But it seems equally freaky when I come across someone that isn't anywhere on the Web.I recently saw a fine performance and was very impressed by this one couple who sang a fabulous duet so I decided to Google 'em when I got home. Searches for each singer yielded exactly zero hits.

Maybe they were both listed in the program under stage names, as my opera-singing roommate often is? But even my roommate appears online in articles about her church, past performances and so on.

Perhaps I really *AM* living in a bubble here in Northern California, but I just find it unfathomable that someone has no record in the vast Interweb. To quote the great philosopher Keanu: Whoa!

P.S. -- My friend Poh Bee Ling commented that she's sadly not anywhere on the 'net either. Heh ;D
