Egosurfing
by Volker Weber
On Thursday Markus told me that I am now #4 if you ask Google for Volker. When you narrow down the search to English results only then I am already in the first spot.
Less suprising is that this not so humble website is #1 when you look for vowe, which is not a very common term. :-) In case you wonder how to pronounce it, vowe 'sounds' a lot different than you might think. It stems from my name voLKER weBER, which is spoken as Folker Vayber. I have used this acronym for at least 25 years. There is only but a few people who use the term to address me.
As a sidenote, I was really surprised to find that Ed's weblog has risen to the top in the Google index in just a few weeks. In the vowe query he directly trails vowe.net since he is currently hosted on vowe.org. If you look for his name you will find his weblog on this site at the top of the list.

Thanks! I have a cooworker named Volker and I wanted to make sure I was pronouncing it correctly... though I'm in N. California where he said when he makes, say a restaurant reservation he just gives up and usually says "Frank" :)
