I subscribe to a number of vanity feeds from Technorati and Feedster, et al. This is mainly because I have a lot of vanity. I also do a few on Podzinger. It turns up references to myself in people’s spoken content on podcasts and vlogs. It’s good that it finds things for me that I wouldn’t otherwise know about, but some of its results are hilarious. They are weirder than running things through Babelfish a few times. Here’s what it found in my PME talk.

Like I say, good that it finds anything but man is it weird sometimes.
Well, you are kitty quick, but you’re not normally one to boast about it.
I’m going to have to relisten to that just to figure out what the hell I actually said. I hadn’t even bothered to download this yet, which is a little silly since I ought to hang on to an archive copy of it.
And yes, I am kitty quick but modest about it.
You said: “My name is Dave Slusher, and I am … (short pause) let me give you a quick … (applause) Please, please, please!”
And by the way, you’re such an immature. And that’s a compliment. 🙂
