Author Topic: For those of you interested in internet privacy . . . Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 08-25-2010 03:05 AM                     I was looking up a film term in one of the posts, put it into google, and it listed the person who used it here on film tech. Including position, home address, and pages and pages of info, so I tried a few people I knew, and it rendered a whole slew of information I had not been able to find by googling it, or other searches. The web site is: Pipl.com A lot of it is public records search stuff that you normally have to pay for, and of course some of the links are to sites that do charge. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.  |  IP: Logged Gordon Bachlund Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 696 From: Monrovia, CA, USA Registered: Aug 1999 posted 08-25-2010 10:59 AM                        Big Brother draws near.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-25-2010 11:04 AM                        As my former favorite talk show host Bruce Williams (now retired from radio) used to say, "If you want privacy these days...that horse is out of the barn and the door has slammed shut behind him."  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 08-25-2010 04:49 PM                     Another one that comes in handy when dealing with companies is Corporate Wiki If they are incorporated, their listed. What really comes in handy with it is the relationship visualizer, about half the page down. We were buying a house, and an investment group owned it. We were worried that the closing title agent had some sort of relation to the owners, but through there we found there was no relationship. Did find out a lot if info about the investment group.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-25-2010 05:02 PM                     WOW, that pipl site is spooky! Not sure how they got some of the personal info like interests, etc., I'm supposedly into sports. I'm not sure if I should be more rattled by what they got right or what they got wrong.  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 08-25-2010 07:15 PM                        It's only 56.67 percent correct when I search myself. And yes, I do run that one website. What of it?  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 08-25-2010 08:40 PM                     Yeah, but it is amazing that even that 56% was correct when all it asks for is a name,city, and state. I do a search on my wife's name, and apparently there is a doctor with her name in this area, so all I get are links on the doctors name. I did a search on one "friend" of mine, and it brought up all sorts of things, including his police record. Wouldn't have beleived it was him, except one of the three links included mug shots.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 08-26-2010 01:42 AM                     Wow.
