Walt Crawford explains in the current *Cites and Insights* \[[pdf](https://cites.boisestate.edu/civ4i14.pdf?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\] how *Lorcan Dempsey* and *Walt Crawford* have been linked by [www.info.com](https://www.info.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net). Do a search on either of our names and you are asked do you want the other. Perhaps it is because our names co-occur on a variety of bibliographies and other lists. Nevertheless, it is odd.  
I have just been looking briefly at the beta version of the new [MSN Search](https://beta.search.msn.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net). Getting back results from that first search on my own name was a surprise. The last few years have accustomed me to a Google view of *Lorcan Dempsey*. And looking at Yahoo is quite similar. However, the default MSN search returned rather a different selection. Seeing a different shake of your life’s web kaleidoscope was striking. I say default because you can change the ranking, adjusting for exactness of match, ‘linked-to-ness’ and recentness of update.  
No *Walt Crawford* in any of the first few pages I looked at though 😉
