The Main Event: People Search Panel at Defrag
At 1:45 I won’t be able to report about the Main Event - the People Search panel at Defrag - because we will all be up there on stage. Four of the finest alternative search engines in this important Vertical will be discussing the important issues of the day in People Search land.
Here are some of the issues that will likely come up:
Q: What are the different approaches that you all take to the common task of People Search?
Q: How does a People Search on your site differ from a Google search?
Q: What are the trade-offs between presenting a view of existing data vs. letting users edit? What are a user’s rights regarding data that is public? If two pieces of information are public, what if you manage to stitch those two facts together - is that combination still public info?
Q: How does OpenSocial affect people search and social networks?
Q: We’ve typically thought of cell numbers as private, because you had to pay if someone called you. But that’s changed, should cell numbers still be private or should they be fair game?

PeopleFinders Hayden Bond
With many different companies competing for people search business, they will try almost anything to get an edge. Therefore, many people search companies use different names for their searches to make themselves stand out more in search engines or appear to be using newer or different search technology. The result is often a jumbled mess that prevents customers from getting the search results that they were hoping for. However, at PeopleFinders.com, we don’t believe in trying to utilize “smoke and mirrors” to sell our services because we want our customers to choose the search that is right for them.
