Of course, I visited that site. I found it to be fun; just to search and see who's name came up.
this can be very good for stalking your ex boyfriend
I have active accounts on Livejournal, Flicker, DeviantArt, Dailymotion, Diaryland, Tribe, and Yahoo but I cant find myself.
I have not heard of Hi5, imeem, or Rediff before.
I guess Im not that connected
rachelface - i agree!!
rachelface - i agree!!
i will say i just looked up a couple exs!
Kinda creepy.
I'm glad it didn't bring up anything for mine. I don't like people being able to find my info so easily.

Ok, just got an email telling me I've been searched for.
So don't be searching for people if you don't want them to know!

I guess it's kinda cool that it does the detective work for you. But at the same time, kind of seems like an invasion of privacy. Totally too easy for someone to stalk you with.
I've tryed it and this doesn't work very well. Plain Google finds much more results when I am looking for my long lost friends who live worldwide now...
Neat! It doesn't work that well, but I tried it anyway. My phantom room mate doesn't have an account ANYWHERE (I checked each site, too). That stinks, but I guess the mystery will be exciting. I hope she's not anti-computer.
what does the e-mail say clairenet?
Brilliant site, but a little bit too efficient for my liking ;)I bet stalkers love using it!! :s
Clarient- Does the e-mail tell you who searched for you? or just that you've been searched for? because I just searched for someone!!!
I know vannuccia - i'm kinda freaking out!
I searched for myself and didn't get an e-mail...
This site brings out the stalker in me

i searched myself and didn't turn up anything. this site is weird.
This is the email I got:
YO! You've been searched...

Thanks bugness, that'll teach me for being so nosy!
FOund almost everyone I looked for. Except me.
Rather creepy. Of course the first person I searched for was myself and then I got an email saying someone looked using my email address. Eek. Good thing I didn't start looking for random friends.
interesting...will have to check it out.
Geez this site is SCARY. I think I should have read the comments before I searched for my ex-es. I agree, this could bring out the 'stalker' in people. Luckily, I couldn't find myself on there. Sheesh.. I'm never using this website ever again.
Thanks for all the comments and for the very VERY helpful FYI on entering someone's email. I've updated the post to let everyone know. Play it safe and just enter first and last names!
It found my Facebook and my MySpace, but I also have a YouTube, Livejournal, Last FM, Vox, and an Imeem account that it didn't find. Granted, I don't use half of those, but still.
Ah, it did find my Imeem, Livejournal, and Last FM but I had to type in my usernames.
what's hi5 b/c apparently i'm signed up for it. haha. it found my myspace, old friendster acct, and my facebook acct that i have no clue as to what my password is. haha.
woo. i searched my friends name and there's a fake profile of her up. creeepy.
I like this site although it's a little addicting to look up people(not to metion a little weird.) I did find some old friends and saw what they look like six years later - they all look great.
kinda creepy... I dont like it that someone can find my info so easily...
i think its a great site and very useful, it has alot of amazing features and allows you to search for anyone on any social network by imputing whatever that social network allows you to search with
Did yoname hire you, gill?
rofl, I also just searched for myself... guess I need to see if I got an email. Kind of cool, but a little creepy at the same time!
GOOD! im glad it emails you. because this is disgusting stalker heaven.
Cool site. I just played around with it for a bit and found a bunch of friends. I also am an executive in the music industry and I just searched some of my employees. I found some funny stuff. yoname is a great site. I look forward to your future finds.
