Really-Free People Search
Though not deliberate, MySpace.com seeded an idea that was to change Web based people search forever.
Before MySpace, many people used companies like US Search and Infospace to purchase public records information as a means to locate people from their past, for a fee. A typical public records profile will include a list of known mailing addresses and possible phone number. Public records reports can cost from $7.95 to $100 depending on the source and complexity of the source.

The Easiest Way for Registered Sex Offenders to get Close to Children May be through a Paint Can
At People Search News, we like to look at safety from every angle. Therefore, PSN is urging homeowners looking to have their homes painted this winter to help keep their families safe by screening potential painters through online background checks.
Whether they are expecting friends or family members to stop by for the holidays, or just feel its time for a new look for their home, many homeowners opt to have their homes painted during the winter. However, for numerous reasons, most painters are not properly screened by homeowners for past criminal behavior. The most common reasons that homeowners don’t perform background checks on their painters are:
Quick Results: When most homeowners decided to get their homes painted, they want the process completed as quickly as possible (No one wants to have scaffolding and tarps laying around in the front yard!). Therefore, if a homeowner finds a painter with a great turnaround time and good price, he or she will usually hire that painter immediately.
Informal Job Postings: Painters are also often hired informally through free classified services like Craig’s List, neighborhood flyers, or door-to-door solicitation, which further exacerbates a lack of safety because most people think background checks should only be conducted on white collar workers.

Don’t Let Google Tell You How to People Search
Last week, I was searching online for an item that I have always wanted, an authentic Japanese baseball hat. I began my search in the same manner that millions do each day as I typed into a search box and then hit the Google search button. My search yielded 1.5 million results, so of course, I began my purchasing journey with the companies on the first result page. After spending about twenty minutes viewing outrageous hat prices from Japanese companies, I decided to try something completely insane in the world of internet searching: I ventured off the first page to find the item I wanted.
Now I know this seems like a completely ludicrous thing to do, but I was feeling like taking a chance. I choose results page #7, in tribute to New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, and began to shop the hat vendors on that page. Much to my surprise, I found not one, but two great Japanese baseball hats for only $15 a piece! As a result of my efforts, I am now the proud owner of a Fukuoka Daiei Hawks hat and a Yokohama Bay Stars hat. Life couldn’t be better.
After basking in the glow of my victory over traditional internet searching, I began to realize the extremely significant impact that Google search results play on one’s purchases.
