I’ve never used zoominfo.com before. Sometimes I turn to Google because it’s a better search engine that my blog’s local engine, and I can find past articles much faster.

A few days ago when doing that, ZoomInfo’s entry for me came up in the listings. I took a screenshot:

There is so much FAIL.

In some ways it is right. Those web references are obviously about me. Many are old, but they are right links. So it makes some sense that it associates me as “Assistant Instructor” and with KR Training.

I’m not sure why it thinks I’m in Wyoming (307 area code)

I don’t know what that email address is. Probably bogus, because it’s kinda reasonable to expect it’d be “john” @ “something” .com, because .com is common enough.

And the address is all kinds of screwed up.

I have no interest in correcting the information, joining ZoomInfo, etc..

But I guess folks should be quite skeptical of the data you receive from it, if you even consider using it. This is no slight or slander. It’s just honest truth because the above doesn’t have much right about me.
