I’ve checked Googlism.com several times over the months (years even) to see if there were any results for my full name, but it always said, “Sorry, Google doesn’t know enough about dan hersam yet.”

That seems odd, because when I search for dan hersam there are over 20,000 results.

Anyway, I eventually gave up, until the other day when I found Angie’s site, where she performed a search for only her first name.

I decided to do the same.

I did a Googlism search for Dan , and before commenting on the results, I would like to point something out. There were 852 results, but when I sorted the list and removed duplicates, it left only 285 (which, coincidentally, has the same three digits as the original number of results, just in a different order. Spooky.) I don’t see why they don’t remove duplicates, but there you go.

Out of the 285, I removed a few rude items, some that appeared to be truncated and non-English entries, leaving me with 129. I think a few of them may actually refer to me, like the one talking about the remember info problem. I couldn’t find the site that mentioned me, but I believe someone was talking about the blog entry where I discussed getting the Remember Info feature of Movable Type working in Opera.

Anyway, here is the filtered list of Googlisms for Dan.
