I only went to day 2 of the conference this year. And I was pleasantly surprised at some of the great discussions.
4 out of the 5 sessions I went to were useful and the ‘Give it up session’ was fun to close the day.
Over the coming days, and after my holiday I iwll try to be inspired from the talks, apply my own opinions and experience and make some more notes for this site.
123People dot com. Yet another, not quite finish people search engine. In the old days you had a to hire a private eye, rumage through someones rubbish bins to find out about what they do, where they go and who they hang out with.
I recently took a look at Pilp and commented on how it added little value. This one does the same.
I only found it as I was working through my inbound links, which there arent many. And found this site.
Here is a page stalking me >>
I still find it exciting when I find a new and innovative new site. This new one Addict-o-matic who name is pretty accurate is a one-stop-shop for all the different sources of information from blogs, news and the social sphere. As a rugby fan, the example of keeping up to date with all the 6 nations actions is great. Take a look for yourself and if you like, let us know what you think.
So, you have made a post on a forum when you are a young man (or women), it may even be slightly embarassing. You might of got drunk and your friends have put a photo of you in an embarassing position or situation and you go for a job interview.
Your new employer, even though they cant formally use it, will do an internet search for your name. If you are clever, they will find a nice blog of you and your cat. Or they can use a people search engine such as Pipl and find all kinds of things.
Remember, dont post anything that you might be embarassed about in the future or have friends connected to you who might become a liability in the future.
Check it out for your own name and be scared.
Here are few searches for famous people: Gordon Brown, UK Prime Minister. Sports people, David Beckham through to silly bloggers.
You will notice, if you search for yourself that the information is currently seriously out of date (especially electrol register) and gets confused. But a worrying new public development.
The web never forgets.
