You realize of course his name is on the first page of Google results on "VP engineering" ubeam https://www.google.ca/search?complete=0&&gws_rd=ssl&q=%22VP+... and the only result which is not "we are hiring". Then copypasting firstname lastname ubeam back into Google will spit out that LinkedIn page as the first result. It took longer to type this than do two Google searches.

I did not realize it was that easily found
I literally grew up with web searches having started browsing the (very nascent) web in 1993 with a Mosaic beta. I have tried to disseminate my knowledge in this topic via articles, book chapters and speeches. But really, we are on hacker news. This is quintessential hacking: try, change what you did based on the results, try again, repeat rinse. It will eventually work. Given the speed of Google and scanning ten results, you can fire off a search every few seconds and get to the result real quick. (Or just never if the material is not well searchable. Did you know the best or perhaps the only travel VESA monitor stand is a microphone stand? )
Actually, what I meant was the link between person X and the blog. No matter that people reading the blog could find the author (that was obvious), but rather that people googling person X didn't necessarily find the blog (until this thread.)
