Egosurfing (2023) takes its name from a term coined by Sean Carton in 1995. First appearing as an entry in Gareth Branwyn’s March 1995 Wired magazine Jargon Watch column, the term refers to the practice of searching for one’s own name or nickname in a popular search engine and reviewing the results. Similarly, an “egosurfer” is defined as someone who searches for their own name on the Internet and wants to see what information appears.
