Do You Google People Before a Meeting?
Posted by Gordon Smith

I do. [Update: For both personal and professional meetings.] But if this W$J poll is accurate, I am in the minority.

Uh, if that poll is accurate (based on the screenshot you posted) you are in the *majority*.

(37% + 18% = 55%)

Dang! I asked the wrong question. I am in that first group that googles for both personal and professional meetings. I edited the post to reflect that.

(In too much of a hurry this morning.)

Yes.

I also routinely Google potential witnesses to get an idea whether taking their deposition is a good idea. What you get from Google must be taken with a grain of salt, however. Google sometimes produces weirdly inconsistent search results.
