I have pissed off MSN
As a April Fool’s joke; I made a post titled: Why did MSN label me like this? . It linked to a spoof MSN search page about myself. It was pretty funny, or I thought so. It was only supposed to be an April fool’s joke. Boy was I wrong. I completely underestimated the power of Google. Or maybe I underestimated MSN’s hatred of me. ![]()
It turns out that if you go to Google and type in Navdeep Shergill, the first page that comes up is that spoof that I had posted. So now whenever anyone searches for me on Google; they are going to see that page and all those wacky things it says about me. I have heard of prospective employers ‘googling’ their employees as a way to screen; good thing I am not applying for a new job huh.
Google updated thier search rankings. I am safe, for now!
Its just a little prank, i dont think future employees will take this into consideration. But maybe… who knows.
Here in Norway people applying for jobs also speak about the possibility of beeing “googled”. So it do happen….
