 20070125 First Name in the First Ten
I Googled the term Zach and I'm #1. Zach Braff and Zach Galifianakis top off #2 and #3.Top secretly, I've checked that search every month for years now. Zach Braff had a stranglehold on it since Garden State, but he slipped up with The Last Kiss and lost the lead. Eat it, Braff! Also, some of my friends are in their top ten: Mareen Fischinger is #1 Youngna Park is #1 Jason Kottke is #2 Amit Gupta is #3 Jakob Lodwick is #3 Janelle Gunther is #3 Update: My 4-day reign at #1 is over. That blasted Braff has knocked me back to #2. 15

Thommy said... I'm #2 for my first name "Thommy" 1:18 PM Chris Kalani said... Perhaps my results are old, but I just tried it and you are 3rd... It goes Zach Braff's imdb page and then his official site... 1:27 PM said... Sorry to tell you but I think it's just the Google Personalized Search doing its tricks. I've tried same search and "Zach Braff" is still #1. 1:35 PM Jeff said... It appears you're hubris has already brought you crashing down to #2. 1:41 PM Rett said... I got screwed over by RETT syndrome. 4:26 PM Martin said... #3 here too, i guess if you use google sitemaps they would give you a estimated average ranking. Also if Zach Braff added a SPACE between his name's in his title, i would fear he would be unbeatable for the #1 spot... And yeah drop me a email to, will ya.. please 4:51 PM said... I will hold the #1 "dalas" spot forever! 5:18 PM Wezzo said... Zach I have you at #3, must be something to do with geo location - South Africa here... 2:30 AM Nick said... Honestly, this is SO AWESOME. You got a new apartment? Rad. You got a new bike a few months ago? Cool, glad to hear. You are the #1 Google result for your first name?! I would even go so far as to say take the day off and celebrate. I am not joking or being sarcastic. 11:53 AM Amit Gupta said... Congrats, Zach! That r0x0rs. 6:46 PM said... How quickly you have been dethroned 10:31 PM said... Rumor was that Zach Braff's people were really miffed. They asked Brin to bump him up the list. 5:32 PM said... It's Super Bowl Sunday and you are once again King. 12:20 AM said... LOL. I bet linking to Zack Braff's blog didn't help the competition either. 8:42 PM noah said... I am #8 for Noah. That Noah K is an animal;) I will try my best to get you back to #1. 7:02 AM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
