Googlebaiting

Googlebaiting is the practice of mentioning a long lost name's acquaintance in a blog entry in the hopes that they will Google their own name and find you. Today I received confirmation that this works in practice -- I blogged an old acquaintance's name (put out the bait, if you will), and the bait got bitten -- not by a friend, but by a mutual acquaintance Dan Kreuger. Dan - it was good to touch base with you.
