Abby Wambach

The latest news on Abby Wambach is that Barack Obama tweeted her directly from his own twitter account. Imagine having the president of the United States not only know who you are, but tweet you! I can only imagine how she felt checking her @ Mentions and seeing that Obama gave her a shout out?

I guess she is pretty happy....




Here is a pic of the Obama crew watching (I am assuming) the World Cup:

Robert Tidey

THIS IS SUCH A MYSTERY!

It is killing me that Robert Tidey was the most popular name searched on Radaris yesterday, but I can find almost nothing interesting about him. This leads me to become obsessed with discovering WHY he is so popular. There are no pictures of him where there should be on the right side of the screen. There are no news articles after the Public Reports search results box.

The only thing that is of any value, and can give me a slight clue about his who-abouts (that's my version of where-abouts, but more about who he is than where), is his LinkedIn profile. According to the limited information that gives me as well, Tidey is the owner of Joymar, Inc. Whatever that is...

Well, of course I'm too big of a creep not to look that up too. So I searched it and it is a company that owns other car wash companies.

You're welcome for the free promotion, Robert Tidey.

Object of the story:
Use Radaris to creep on people!

Sarah Hoy is the Top Searched Name on the 4th of July

The question I was asking myself when I came back in to the office yesterday was: Who is Sarah Hoy, and why was she such a popular search on Radaris on the 4th of July?

Naturally, I was curious to know why anyone would even be on their laptops this past Monday instead of being outdoors and celebrating the nation's independence day. And what makes this one name so special that it snagged the number one spot?

I did my own search of the name Sarah Hoy on Radaris in order to see if I could solve this mystery. Radaris turned up a lot of interesting things, like some news articles and some videos regarding that particular name. So I compiled a list of the most interesting things I could rummage up and posted them here. One of these Sarah Hoy's is definitely a popular girl:

1. The video from YouTube is about Sarah Hoy, the musician of traditional Scottish tunes. It's a pretty entertaining video. For one, its funny to fathom why the video-shooter felt the need to follow that old man for a good chunk of time in the beginning of the video. Secondly, since Barga is in Italy, what's with the Scottish music?




2. The first picture that comes up for Sarah Hoy is this itty bitty one of a different Sarah Hoy from Brooklyn, NY. This is a MySpace picture. Excuse me, I mean "$arah Hoy".

3. The top news result under "Sarah Hoy" is actually not even about a Sarah. It's a press release about a man named David Hoy titled, Hoy's 5 & 10 Salutes Longstanding Employees.

I haven't really figured out why this particular name was so popular on the fourth of July, but a "Sarah Hoy" search sure turns up some interesting stuff.
