This is definitely one of those websites that you can't help but get addicted to! When you go to yoName, you can type in someone's email address (see below) or their first and last name to see which social networks they are apart of. Myspace, Facebook, Friendster you name it - yoName will search it. Whether you are looking for celebrities, old flames, friends or family members, this awesome website will do all the detective work for you in a matter of a few seconds- fantastic! Update: Thanks to all the users who have submitted comments below. As we've learned, be cautious of typing in someone's email as that person will be sent an email saying that someone was searching their online profiles on yoName- don't worry they won't know its you, but still- eek! You are safe with just typing in first and last names or usernames.

can't wait to win your iphone!!!
1Of course, I visited that site. I found it to be fun; just to search and see who's name came up.
2this can be very good for stalking your ex boyfriend
3I have active accounts on Livejournal, Flicker, DeviantArt, Dailymotion, Diaryland, Tribe, and Yahoo but I cant find myself.
I have not heard of Hi5, imeem, or Rediff before.
I guess Im not that connected
4rachelface - i agree!!
5i will say i just looked up a couple exs!
6Kinda creepy.
I'm glad it didn't bring up anything for mine. I don't like people being able to find my info so easily.
7Ok, just got an email telling me I've been searched for.
So don't be searching for people if you don't want them to know!
8I guess it's kinda cool that it does the detective work for you. But at the same time, kind of seems like an invasion of privacy. Totally too easy for someone to stalk you with.
9I've tryed it and this doesn't work very well. Plain Google finds much more results when I am looking for my long lost friends who live worldwide now...
10Neat! It doesn't work that well, but I tried it anyway. My phantom room mate doesn't have an account ANYWHERE (I checked each site, too). That stinks, but I guess the mystery will be exciting. I hope she's not anti-computer.
11what does the e-mail say clairenet?
12Brilliant site, but a little bit too efficient for my liking ;)I bet stalkers love using it!! :s
13Clarient- Does the e-mail tell you who searched for you? or just that you've been searched for? because I just searched for someone!!!
14I know vannuccia - i'm kinda freaking out!
15I searched for myself and didn't get an e-mail...
This site brings out the stalker in me
16i searched myself and didn't turn up anything. this site is weird.
17This is the email I got:
YO! You've been searched...

Your friends at yoName.com
18www.yoName.com
Thanks bugness, that'll teach me for being so nosy!
19FOund almost everyone I looked for. Except me.
20Rather creepy. Of course the first person I searched for was myself and then I got an email saying someone looked using my email address. Eek. Good thing I didn't start looking for random friends.
21interesting...will have to check it out.
22Geez this site is SCARY. I think I should have read the comments before I searched for my ex-es. I agree, this could bring out the 'stalker' in people. Luckily, I couldn't find myself on there. Sheesh.. I'm never using this website ever again.
23Thanks for all the comments and for the very VERY helpful FYI on entering someone's email. I've updated the post to let everyone know. Play it safe and just enter first and last names!
24It found my Facebook and my MySpace, but I also have a YouTube, Livejournal, Last FM, Vox, and an Imeem account that it didn't find. Granted, I don't use half of those, but still.
25Ah, it did find my Imeem, Livejournal, and Last FM but I had to type in my usernames.
26what's hi5 b/c apparently i'm signed up for it. haha. it found my myspace, old friendster acct, and my facebook acct that i have no clue as to what my password is. haha.
woo. i searched my friends name and there's a fake profile of her up. creeepy.
27I like this site although it's a little addicting to look up people(not to metion a little weird.) I did find some old friends and saw what they look like six years later - they all look great.
28kinda creepy... I dont like it that someone can find my info so easily...
29i think its a great site and very useful, it has alot of amazing features and allows you to search for anyone on any social network by imputing whatever that social network allows you to search with
30Did yoname hire you, gill?
31rofl, I also just searched for myself... guess I need to see if I got an email. Kind of cool, but a little creepy at the same time!
32GOOD! im glad it emails you. because this is disgusting stalker heaven.
33Cool site. I just played around with it for a bit and found a bunch of friends. I also am an executive in the music industry and I just searched some of my employees. I found some funny stuff. yoname is a great site. I look forward to your future finds.
