Is search done yet? Quick, find a list of 100 bloggers. Now, quick, tell me what their email addresses are.
You can find mine pretty easily. Just go to Google or MSN or Yahoo and type:
Scoble email
And you’ll find it within the first few links. Why? Cause I put my email on my home page. It’s amazing how hard many bloggers make it to find their email address. I should just be able to go to your home page and search for the @ character and find your email address.
But, this all got me thinking. What if we could get things into search engines? What if we could just post one post with all the stuff you’d want to appear in Google or MSN or Yahoo for when people search for your name? Wouldn’t that be cool? I think so. It’d let me get some sleep.
Oh, and if you think I have a deep rolodex? You’d be confusing me with Buzz Bruggeman. I’d rather just find you in a search engine. If I can’t find your email address in a search engine? Well, then, I can’t invite you to cool things, can I?
Here’s my post for the search engines:
Robert Scoble’s email: rscoble@microsoft.com
Robert Scoble’s cell phone: 425-205-1921
Robert Scoble’s mailing address: 1 Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052
Robert Scoble’s birthday: 1/18/1965
Robert Scoble’s best friend: Dave Winer
Robert Scoble’s significant other: Maryam Ghaemmaghami (married November 2, 2002).
Robert Scoble’s offspring: Patrick Scoble (born January 14, 1994).
What else should we put into the search engines? Yeah, I’m doing this just to see what’ll happen on my search query. By the way, have you searched for your name lately on Google? They’ve been displaying more stuff lately.
This is fine in theory, but broken in practise - assuming that you even want all your contact details to be public. My name is James Murphy, my nickname is murph - these are not uncommon names, quite the reverse in fact…
I could go on - but I ought to do that in a blog post, which I really ought to do…

Ahh, then, you need to find some way that your friends and family can find you. For instance, do you live in a specific town? Are you known for something?

If we’re going to be putting stuff into global data respositories then please let’s use unambiguous date formats. There’s an international standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601). Let’s use it.
[Sorry, I know this is rather missing the point of your post. It just pushed one of my buttons.]
ok, so no HTML here. bad luck
just reach my blog via clicking on my name and look for the entry named “Searchengines and AJAX”

Scoble, the fact that you post your cell phone on your very public and widely read blog makes you a very brave man. There’s gotta be people just calling you for fun. Do you have something like “the blog cell phone” and the “super secret cell phone that only my friends and family know about”?

Robert, if you think the spaces between parts of an email address are stopping anyone, you need to meet a couple of my friends, Perl and GREP. Less than a half of sentence of code, and I can parse through a hundred pages in less than a second, find, and recreate every email address you’ve “obfuscated” that way. Hell, I can do it with AppleScript too, and I bet Dori could fly through it with Javascript.
Just because YOU can’t figure it out doesn’t mean its actually hard.
I found a simpler way to have a reliable contact method. I’ve had the same cell number since 1998. EVERYONE who needs to call me can get ahold of me that way. Everyone who needs to have it does.
Other than that, getting in contact with me is pretty simple.
As far as the spam thing goes, a good server filtering implementation, like Postini or GFI, and a good client filtering implementation, like Entourage 2004, decent folder management, and Spam’s a non-issue.
Of course, you could just post a link to a vCard with all that info, and make things more simple.

FOAF (http://www.foaf-project.org/) and hCard (http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard) are perfect for representing this contact-type of info in a machine/search-engine readable form.

[…] Robert Scoble has an idea for how to make it easier for people to find us, and if you look at his comments maybe harder to steal our identities […]
Home address, social security number, driver’s license number, mother’s maiden name, last three addresses - those would help disambiguate. And put the identity theft theory to a test.

Robert: “it’s been there for almost three years and I don’t get much spam.” is valid inside the sphere of Microsoft. You work for one of the companies actively trying to solve the spam problem. In the real world, posting your email address in public is asking to get spam. Post an address that isn’t in the microsoft.com domain space and see how long it takes for the spam to start piling up.
I hide my email address in a Flash image that anyone can click but spammers can’t scrape. Flash is the one thing automated spam scrapers haven’t figured out how to parse yet. When there’s a monetary incentive to figure it out, Flash won’t be safe either.

I like the idea of email escrow services; something that passes me the message without disclosing my address until I want to. I’ve only had one online ‘stalker’ and they weren’t serious, but I have concerns.
I was transcribing a fascinating conversation I had with Marc Smith about SNARF yesterday and he was talking about the serendipity of strangers and the value of our attention. “SNARF isn’t about banishing strangers; it’s about putting them in their proper place. By default it tends to focus on who are your stronger connections; simply clicking one button inverts that and now you have your weakest social relationships at the top. All your strangers are one click away. Strangers’ emails are more likely to get lost beneath the waves of incoming mail without SNARF. If you look at the Inbox today it is ordered by what I like to call the ADD sort order. If you have ADD, “If it’s new, it’s interesting”. I have a hard time believing that any random internet user on earth can simply throw a message into my Inbox and I will have to pay attention to it.”

I’d just like to know why there is no way to indentify a phone number on a web page. There is the mailto: prefix for email, but why not a phone: prefix? Or an IM: (or AOL:, Yahoo:, MSN:, and Google:)?
With the proliferation of VoIP and Skype and Gizmo, why can’t I just click to dial?

I don’t read your comments very often, so it was very weird to see my name mentioned in them…
Robert: I don’t usually search for the word “email,” instead, I search for the word “contact”. Look for that, and every page on my blog has a way to send me email. And while it was scary to see how easy it was to find my office phone number that way, no one has actually used it to contact me that I can recall.
John: JavaScript has regular expressions, and you can do darn near anything with text strings and regexp if you know what you’re doing.

There is a way to identify telephone numbers. See RFC 3966 - The tel URI for Telephone Numbers (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3966.html)
Example tel:+1-201-555-0123 . There are also a number of RFC discussing URL scheme for IM as well. Client applications need to just implment them.
