Has my name been adopted by a spam bot?

    So I was a little bored today and I decided to google my own name using quotes to see if I could maybe find any old references to me or people with the same name.

    I was shocked to discover that on various youtube-style sites some very strange comments have been posted associated with my name; including homosexual abuse against me which is odd seeing as I'm not gay, and also on a video for a 2pac song I found a comment saying "Tim Hugall lives and dies in Timland."

    WTF? Is this something done by a spybot or have random people simply lifted me name and went nuts with it?

    Interesting. Although i wouldnt be worried too much about it being found on a 2Pac video, that community generally does all sorts of crazy things.

    There are just too many people with my name for comfort! It means I can either be a BBC Journalist, a bored farm lad in the USA, a senior lecturer in pharmacy or any number of guises. Take your pick! Actually, thinking about it, how cool for the next CV!

    "Yes, you can find out all about my research online, just follow the link to my home page"

    Hmmm? Couple that with 'Buy a degree online" and you are a made man!

    Hahahaha, I did this about a year ago and was amazed about all the information people could find from just googling my name. Kinda scared me, so I removed as much as I could. Seems to be all better now. :nod:
