WHAT IS YOUR PUBLIC PROFILE?
This article is very interesting. Here is an excerpt:
Often referred to as “digital dirt,” online information can really hurt one’s chances of getting a job. Recruiters, like any other Web surfer, often search for information about their candidates before sending them to their clients. It is a little easier to remain unscathed by Internet results when you have a common name. However, employers who have your resume at hand have enough information about you to narrow down the search and find accurate personal information.
Websites such as Match.com, Facebook, WebShots and MySpace serve as valuable tools to jump-start people’s personal lives, but can also come back to limit their career options. One inappropriate picture can cut your chances of landing your dream job. Don’t let that happen to you and do not think it can’t. Employers check up on their current and potential employees more thoroughly than people think. It is also possible for employers or employees of the hiring company to find you by accident. The chances are high that you are interconnected through a social network (Friendster, for example) with someone in the hiring company.

If you google “Florida Bill” you get many thousands of hits on State of Florida statutes and one or two hits for Juggernuts…
If you google my real name, there are even more hits, but none are me. I have a common name and there is even another person at Small Cubicle Insurance Company with the same name, first, middle and last. I get his e-mail all of the time.
