Episode 97 - How Many of You?

Monday, July 28th, 2008 - running time 00:01:50

A new site tells you how many people in the United States have the same name as you.

Internet, I am really into myself. And that's why I'm constantly doing Google News www.news.google.com, Google Blog, and Twitter searches www.summize.com on myself to see who out there is talking about me.

Problem is, in most cases, nobody is talking about me. But I still find results when I search on 'Martin Sargent' because a bunch of assholes with my name, who are actually doing something with their lives, regularly are written about online.

So I started to wonder: just how many people in The United States are also named Martin Sargent? Well, a new site provides the answer.

Just enter your first and last name at www.howmanyofme.com and you'll find out, using U.S. Census Data, how many imposters are out there, trying to steal your glory.

In my case, there are 40 people named Martin Sargent. But I think only one of them can handle such a proud name: me.

And how about other Revision3 personalities?

There are 605 Kevin Roses, 521 Bruce Sanchezes (that's Gator's birth name), 418 Sarah Lanes, 143 Patrick Nortons, 83 Roger Changs, 11 Alex Albrechts, 3 Brian Brushwoods, 2 Veronica Belmonts, and 1 Jim Louderback.

And thank God for that. 1 Jim Louderback is way more than I can take...
