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.

Stalking Your Ex-Lover Made Easy With 123 People

Everyone loves a good incognito stalking site right? When I posted YoName, it got rave reviews, so here's a new one for ya. The new and improved YoName, with pictures and everything, is called 123 People. Aggregating search results from a variety of sources, 123 People is a real-time people search tool that will scan the web for information, videos, images, phone numbers, social networking profiles, and more when you enter a person's name. I took it for a test drive and realized that the names I was entering were far too generic - therefore a ton of results came back - but if you've got some friends or exes with unique names, totally try it!
