When we think of search, we think of Google. But even Google has limitations to what it can find. Take people for example, it'll return a list of indexed results containing names or relevant details, but these are not specific and are often mixed amongst totally un-people related results. Enter Pipl which has just overtaken Spock (the former default people search engine) in ComScore’s December numbers.
It's pretty scary as to what it can find - see image above. One search under my name brought back a table of images with 3 of the 19 being me. Big brother is watching.

I am also concerned about the dangers inherant with regard to personal information in the age of the internet. But I believe that companies like Pipl provide a valuable service to information consumers, the vast majority of whom are not criminals. My own company, PersonRatings, is dealing with balancing many these same issues as we attempt to provide a platform to rate & review any American.
