When I do a search for my name in google it directs me to my profile in maemo.org.
and i do not like that is there any way to hide that info or make it not show up in google search?
One way I can think of is cancel my subscription and delete my name and wait until it clears out from google cache but is there any other solution to that?

you should have a very common name which I dont and it is very easy for people to track me if they want to.

lol that was a joke, too subtle i fear! but yeah i wouldn't be happy with that situation, can u not edit ur profile details instead of deleting ur account? or PM a mod and ask about blocking personal data from search engines. google seems to update tmo searches REALLY quick for new posts and the like, but i dont know how long it would take to clear the old stuff though. just be grateful its not an embarrasing site!

i removed my actual name from profile and just entered some bogus name, lets see if that would do it.
