Search date 08.06.09. Top five:
1. My own website from my PhD study at Lancaster University. It is hosted by the university and created using Macromedia Dreamweaver. Not updated for about a year.
2. My PhD student profile from Lancaster University. I have finished by PhD and left Lancaster, but this page is still live.
3. A flickr stream but not for me.
4. My current Bath Spa University profile (updated by me using uni system).
5. A website for another individual with same name. Very little on my website.
Others in the top twenty include Screen Research; BFI; and Intellect publishers.
Interestingly, my facebook page was not in the top fifty. In this respect, my 'google' disclosures were managed by me.
