I recently came across pipl, the “people search engine”, courtesy of a ReadWriteWeb article. Despite the cutesy, slightly chunderous, intentional-mispelling-as-branding name, it was an experience.
Like many, I’m incredibly self-involved, so the first person I looked up (“pipled”? – ugh!) was myself. Once you get past the all the false positives (“Taylor Dayne may [...]

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
