    We also found you on PeopleFinders.com (we are also a people search engine).

    Though, these social networking sites are awesome ways to find someone, PeopleFinders.com offers a deeper set of data on individuals not is not freely available on social networking profiles.

    I don't have a website to SPAM this article with, but I did find myself on four out of the six sites mentioned. Good stuff.

    hey, nice roundup - oddly, i just wrapped up (last month) a very large article for my regular column in "Competitive Intelligence Magazine" (published by SCIP.org) that looks at dozens of these tools including aggregators and additional utilities...it won't be up on http://www.passingnotes.com until probably novemberish, maybe october/late sept depending on publication date, but if you'd like to see a preview copy please ping me...

    Each one of the solutions has different approach to the people search , but what I found that it's common to all of them is that their implementation is a variation of white pages.
    When I use one of the mentioned search engines I expect to find a specific person.
    After I enter name or email I get search results containing list of profiles from various social networks. These solutions are great to find information about specific person or locate your friends.
    We , at Copenda we have a totally different approach to people search - we call it social people search.
    Copenda is a place to meet new people , you enter general preferences and you get list of profiles from various social networks and leading dating sites. You can use it to find your soul mate or meet new friends with similar interests. Copenda uniquely integrate dating sites aspects such as personality search and structured profile with social networks aspects such as ranking, comments and tagging.
    Stay tuned because copenda is just around the corner , don't forget to check the web site:
    http://www.copenda.com/.
    More information is coming soon.

    Best people search, criminal check and background check website is http://www.peoplefind.net
  • DW · 1 year ago
    The best people search engine is USA People Search. These social people search sites are cool but not terribly useful for anyone over 30 years old.

    Once the novelty wears off, I'm afraid the previous poster is right.
  • sparkbliss · 1 year ago
    Obviously, people love to search for people but there is a downside in terms of lack of personal privacy on the internet especially if you are single and out there looking for love - do you want people finding your babe-seeking bio? Sparkbliss[dot]com mitigates this very well.
  • PeopleFinder · 1 year ago
    I agree with many of the other posters. These social people search sites are cool but not terribly useful for anyone over college age.

    I think that the best and most useful people search site is http://www.peoplesearch.com.
