The best daily source for people search news! News on social networking, online dating, and public records.

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.

Is LinkedIn a Threat to your Safety?

Before anyone gets freaked out by the title of this article, let me assure you that People Search News has always been a fan of LinkedIn. Being a pioneer in business social networking, LinkedIn has helped thousands of professionals gain new clients, find employment and grow their businesses. In fact, a few of our staffers (Dubleche and Agony) were found using this social network. The bottom line is that if you want to make business contacts, you need to visit LinkedIn. However, as with any social network, there may be some risk in getting personally or financially involved with someone you meet on LinkedIn.

When a person signs up for LinkedIn, he or she is asked to provide basic personal information as well as information on his or her educational and professional background. Once this initial step is complete, the user is then allowed to post their profile on the network and begin making professional contacts. Basically, the time it takes to get registered and begin networking is less than ten minutes. This “jump right in” capability of the network is probably one of its biggest strengths as anyone can begin fully utilizing LinkedIn quickly. However, like the proverbial double edged sword, this ease of use also makes LinkedIn a potentially dangerous tool as members are never screened by the use of a background check.
