-- another person of the same name, whose records are intermixed with your own when you "google" yourself. I love this word! One could argue for an umlaut over the a, to make the parallel with doppelganger
more complete, but either way, this coinage is genius!
. . . . GOOGLEGANGER:
jimlike, virtually jim-referential e.g.
"jim is his own best and worst googleganger." ( i.e. "I've been jimmed." )

Gee, I feel sorta left out. Of googlegangers, I have none.
Then again, anyone lucky enough to spell my name correctly would definitely get a Googlestar.

I have an unusual first name but a very common last name. I'm always surprised how many googlegangers I have, and slightly disappointed. I grew up thinking I had a terribly unique name. But there's still only one me. URBAN DICTIONARY?
And I'm not aware of anyone else who goes by the name "uselessness" online, which I think is just fun. I mean, how many ordinary words are such a chore to say, and contain no fewer than 5 S's? And describe me so well, at that? :-D

For someone I live with, one of his two googlegangers is a gay travel writer, and one is a Grammy-award-winning sound engineer.
