Competition is a good thing. That is why I use both Google and Bing.

Wait what? Where I come from the word "nads" is a euphemism for testicles.

yup, nads are testacles (also a brand of hair removal cream in Aus, [which, yikes! some may also use the latter on the former]).
Either way I reckon that name fits him rather well.

If I Google my name then yes, but
1. I am a company owner in Wales
2. I am a musican - But personally I think even cats would walk away if I started to sing.
3. I live in Manchester and America.
4. I have a very active twitter account which shows I own a CRM Software company.
but none of the above are true.

If I google myself, I don;t come up till about eighth place: apparently I'm a musician (who can't carry a tune in a bucket), and an Experimental Quantum Optics and Photonics researcher.
Oh, and according to the images google picked up, I'm also black, white and oriental all at the same time. Mother would be so impressed!

Now that is an interesting twist.
One image of mine is a cartoon of a Viking in an iron clad bikini and a donkey riding school the others are too boring to report.
One thing to note in one image it has a ginger beard!

Isn't that a self fulfilling prophecy when you look for something you have written about yourself? Besides that, who knows how much information Google has already has gathered about you to make your own stuff the most probably fitting search result.

If/when I google "balboos" my site (one page) "CONTEMPLATONS . . . " is top of this list.
In case you try this, don't forget to click through and linger for a while. Might as well keep it there.

I had it once for one of my articles (not top but 5th or so as far as I remember) while I did some research to update that article (so it was not what I was looking for; or better: It did not contained what I was looking for).
Just tried it with the article title (which contains only three very general terms):
710,000 hits, position 4, positions 1 to 3 from the MSDN. Wow

 It's a good feeling, isn't it? I'm really not sure why it feels good though.

I often have to google/bing "technical words" + "my name" and get a direct link to my blog or article when I am trying to do something I had done in the past, had written an article about, but had then completely forgotten.

Yeah, a couple of years ago I googled how to do something in linux, and the article that solved the problem was one that I wrote the previous year.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

if I google my name exactly yep I am the first hit. Of course there is only one person with my exact name in the entire world so that helps. Slightly unusual last name with a slightly uncommon first name gets you that

Nope, not an anti-Apple rant but a general moan about all things starting with a gratuitous "i".
I'm writing some helpers for a third party API which is one of those annoying products called IWhatever - now I can't call a class IWhateverHelpers because it will look like it should be an interface and if I call it something more descriptive like ThirdRateThirdPartyHorseDroppingsHelpers, it will probably get frowned upon for being too honest.
Whoever wrote the actual API neatly sidestepped the problem by not using any interface naming conventions at all - having seen this in action (Intellisense looks like an explosion in a custard factory), I'm not convinced that this was the greatest of ideas.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.
