Vanity Search

A popular sport :-) among authors is to do a vanity search (looking for themselves) on search engines, and see what comes up. Indeed, for a long time I've planned to create a "backlinks" page, where papers and pages referencing my works would appear, nicely classified according to their sources. Of course, that turned out to be a lot more work than I'm willing to do :-), so there will not be a backlinks section on my site anytime soon.
However, Google volunteered :-)) to do some work for me when they created Google Scholar to search scholarly papers, and Google Book Search to search inside books (although not so many books are indexed [yet]). So, here is the result of my little vanity search on those two services. Not quite extensive as a real backlinks page would be, but not so bad :-).
While speaking about vanity :-))), here is an IBM Patent referencing one of my articles (you have to scroll down to "Other References" to see it).

Vanità vs narcisismo

Pensavo di essere l'unico ad avere questa passione ;-))

Mal comune mezzo gaudio :-))))
