Neo-logism: Google-gänger


One of my favorite contemporary poets, Joanna Straughn over at Zeitgeistboheme, recently made me aware of her coined neo-logism "google-gänger."

Joanna points out: "I'm still trying to promote my coined neo-logism "google-ganger" for those twins that show up when your name is googled. Some people will have oodles others few or none."

I will shortly be reviewing Joanna's brilliant book of poems, Instinct.

What do you all think? Who is your google-gänger?

It's rather depressing when your google-gaenger is so much more accomplished than you.... :=) Why did my parents have to name me thus?
