I guess today's post is a bit off the normal subject but it may be useful.I'm sure we all Google someone or a name, perhaps for info for blog posts. I know I do for my celeb blogs but here's a new(ish) search engine dedicated to 'people search': 123people.
So that it can limit the findings searches can be done for UK, USA, Austria, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland or the World.
I've found the site useful but better for some names than others. When it does hone in on a name it can turn up all sorts of stuff: Photos, email addresses, Videos, Weblinks, Social Network Profiles, Phone Numbers, Blogs, Documents, News, IM's and so on.
In some ways it might be considered a bit too intrusive but 123people isn't doing anything illegal. It's simply doing a thorough Internet fast search that would normally take a while to get the same results.
Everything is for free. 123people describe their service thus:
"123people is a real time people search tool that looks into nearly every corner of the Web. Using our proprietary search algorithm, you can find comprehensive and centralized people related information consisting of images, videos, phone numbers, email addresses, social networking and Wikipedia profiles and much more."They have a questions and answers page here for users.
Depending on the niche of your blog 123people might prove useful.
Good luck,
Mike.
