People Search on Pipl


Don't know if this is old news to everyone or not, but there is a site out there called "Pipl" where you can conduct a pretty detailed search of people, and within seconds, aggregate a bunch of info from disparate places on the Internet. Unlike traditional people searches, this site searches "the deep web," thus uncovering data that other sites would not...data from the SEC, Hoovers, your MySpace account, and even your purchase activity on Amazon.com!

Here is an excerpt from the site itself:

"Pipl's query-engine helps you find deep web pages that cannot be found on regular search engines.

Unlike a typical search-engine, Pipl is designed to retrieve information from the deep web, our robots are set to interact with searchable databases and extract facts, contact details and other relevant information from personal profiles, member directories, scientific publications, court records and numerous other deep-web sources.

Pipl is not just about finding more results; we are using advanced language-analysis and ranking algorithms to bring you the most relevant bits of information about a person in a single, easy-to-read results page."

And by the way, you can search on any of your choosing: name, email, user name and phone.

We can now all officially say goodbye to privacy, forever. You can check out the site here.
