Academia.com notifies me whenever someone searches on Google and then selects my academia.com homepage or one of the papers, etc., listed there. Today someone in Japan searched for "Edward Stone Google Books" when they were apparently looking for a LRTS article I wrote a little while ago. (That's what they finally selected, anyway.)
What struck me wasn't how mangled my name (forename and surname) had become as it was passed from one person to another, but that despite this they had been able to find the paper by entering this unlikely string of terms into Google.
