AOL Music Bought My Name as a Key word
I Googled myself last night and discovered to my surprise that AOL Music has apparently bought my name as a key word, in addition to buying other digital music business names such as Dave Goldberg from Yahoo Music and Evan Harrison from Clear Channel. I originally assumed there must be an artist named Sean Ryan on AOL Music, but there is nothing there except a link out to an artist on Shanachie Music through AOL's Singing Fish property - hardly enough to justify buying the key word. So I typed in Dave and Evan's names, and there is literally nothing in AOL Music, including any outside links. Then I assumed that they had just purchased every possible name, like eBay does sometimes. But when I typed in a whole host of other names such as Kevin Ryan (my brother) or JP Lester (our CTO), there was no AOL Music link. Not sure how I feel about it and there is clearly nothing wrong with doing it, so I hope it's working for them - I've been wildly clicking on it all day...:)
