You shouldn’t need Vivek Puri’s reminder of this, do you, Nick? Mike Arrington had reviewed this way back when all the Streakr team can put up is just a Wordpress blog: http://www.techcrunch.com/2006.....amagotchi/

Niche meta-search is cool, but if you want to track someone online I prefer a simpler approach, try the “stalker” page I created at: http://www.srchr.com/?PageID=17127

Add new social networks by typing the domain name into the box on the top left. Then share your own custom page without logging in.

Also works beyond social networks….shopping, jobs, whatever. I find this platform makes a lot more sense…

Streakr is the newest social networking website to hit the internet. Of course you have to be naked to really appreciate this one. What will they think of next?…

All of these search engines = tools for stalking. I’m especially surprised that Facebook would be listed as one of the social networking sites searched by these engines. It’s a private network - how would you find a profile through the search? Profiles are only accessable if you are logged in AND in the same network as the person whose profile you’d like to view. So, how does that work?

This site has a good design and is aesthetically pleasing. I’ve been playing around with it and it’s easy to use. No site launches with all their functionality, I’m interested to see what Streakr adds to this site in the coming months. Worth trying now and one to watch closely.

I still think The Internet Address Book is the best people searcher, with their ‘live search technology’ they perform a search on over 30 social networks including MySpace, Hi5, Frienster, Flickr, ICQ and many more. The results are more accurate since it’s a direct request to the service. The Internet Address Book

Stalkerati.com - the problem is the myspace search stop working tho.

I think the IE requirement for the toolbar is not going to do them any good. They should have designed it to be browser independent.

I dont get this space. Is People search really so hot!! Most people dont even reveal their real names on these networks??

Anyway, I dont see these as businesses. How big is the market - how many page views can you get. Also, its an upstream issue, right. If these players start monetizing the search traffic and keeping the users on their site instead of sending them to Bebo, MySpace, etc. I am sure the social networks are going to be pissed about it….. hmmm…

I think spacecatch does something very similar to this. They also have a faceted meta data search for myspace profiles. Again, nothing new

I think youtubesearcher is talking about the “stumble upon” like part. I tried it out. It looks kinda fresh compared to Myspace, even thought they have a lot in common. I personally like the “favorite link” section, since I can use this to get more traffic to my site.

I’ll play with it the next couple of days and then write my experience in my blog.

Very nice design…and I like the strategy of using the more established sites as bait. If they can equal or better the experience I think they will do well.
