SAN DIEGO, CA -- Stalking your friends, former coworkers and exes has gotten exponentially easier with a new web site unveiled Tuesday.
Intelius demonstrated its next-generation people search directory,
iSearch.com, at the DEMOfall 2008 convention. By simply entering a person's name in iSearch's search field, you'll be able to find all sorts of information related to the person -- from colleagues to relatives, employment history, schools attended and so on.
Of course, iSearch doesn't magically pull this information out of thin air. It depends on what your search "target" has disclosed publicly online somewhere. ISearch simply does a thorough scanning of the web and collects and displays all that information in one entry for you.
Intelius's CEO Naveen Jain explained that the older form of people search (e.g., Googling around, resorting to the White Pages or following people home) just isn't up to standards in light of the social networking phenomenon. He said iSearch will benefit those looking to reconnect with former coworkers or keep in touch with family members.
The site's fully functional, so check it out -- test it on your friends or maybe the child you abandoned five years ago. Whoa. Apparently my son is in jail for attempting to rob a bank! Oops.
