Default Finding people on the Internet
I'm trying to track down a friend who has moved, switched jobs, and I've misplaced her number. Evidently she is unlisted, because I can't find her on switchboard, or any of the other phone listing sights. I've googled her, but to no avail.

The only place I think I've found her is on USsearch.com, but it is going to cost me $20 to get the info which I'm not 100% certain is what I am looking for.

So my question is are there any sights similar to ussearch I might be able to use to track someone down.

Thanks for the help.

Default RE:Finding people on the Internet
I just looked myself up on people-data.com. It shows me twice - one w/one of my VA addresses and one in TX. So, someone from 10 years ago could pay $10 for each address listing and see if any of the leads pan out, but as often as I move... good luck. A background check on that site would cost you $20. It doesn't say what would be included in a background check.

I used USsearch.com too (to see if i come up), and it doesn't show me at all - but there are 15+ listings under my not-so-common name, and my age.

I wonder if there's a book on looking people up? Have you tried the classmates.com thing? My mom found 3 friends on it, so it was worth the investment for her.

I personally find it disturbing that you can find people's information that easily on the net...

I like the fact that the info I found on myself was very outdated on the free sites (good thing I move all the time), but I wouldn't mind if some old college friends looked me up. The info's out there all over the place, you might as well use it.

I've found myself in Chicago! I'm a veterinarian there.

There are like 4 or 5 myselfs in the States. Wonder if I can cross the border without being pursued.

So I'm trying to get an updated phone number on Monic Seles and Jodie Foster, big deal. I would hardly consider that stalking.

One of our members actually found a number for Dirk, but he's moved since then. She never even shared it with me!!

I would put 20 dollars on that being a fib.

I'm sure this has its honest uses, but it is kinda creepy how easy it is to get people's info here in the information age...

And you can do a criminal background check on the State's website - costs $2+ a record. I think it's always good to know if a potential date is wanted for high crimes. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

LOL, no, but they were good friends in high school, and now they enjoy writing and visiting and talking on the phone. One is a musician in California, one works at the Pentagon (i think?)....

By "bread" did you mean "dough" (money)? I understand you, my friend, no matter how you word things. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Speaking of running into lost friends:

My friend and long-term lab partner in college worked for his dad putting up gigantic flag poles around the country. He drove this very distinctive van, painted w/the American flag, company name, phone number., etc. Anyway, I saw this van THREE times in my neighborhood or near work (within a few weeks time). So, the last time (my roommate and I were speeding past it heading north on 121) I dialed the number and talked to his dad and got his new number.

I figure it might be some kind of a sign that I'm supposed to call and say hi. I knew him thru his first marriage, divorce, eventual re-marriage, birth of his first child. How did we lose touch? It'd be neat to catch up, if nothing else. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
