What is Kevin Fox?
Wednesday, Oct 23, 2002
So the newest web toy on the block is Googlism.

The site takes the name of a person, place, thing, etc, and will throw back an impressively long list of definitions garnered from the web. Not definitive definitions mind you, but a list of phrases that begin (in my own egotistical example) 'Kevin Fox is a...'.

The output is really impressive, as you'll no doubt see. I'm still sifting through, but the one that caught my eye was "Kevin Fox is my soulmate."

Sadly I don't play the cello, and dimes'll give you dollars that she's lusting after my nomesis, musician and creator of the "Six Degrees of Kevin Fox".

Nevertheless, here's my complete list. I've put links on the ones that I recognize as referring to me:

Of course, I don't know about a lot of the remaining items, but I'll be spending a little time on Google searching for the phrases to find out. It's like referrer-checking (aka backlinking) but on a linguistic, not a linky, level.

So what are you?
