• How Much of "You" Is on The Internet

Living in the information age is an interesting time. Many people think they're good at covering their information up, but actually suck at it. The easiest way to see this is by simply Googling your name (no personal results). Dont bother posting your name on here unless you really want to be creeped on. A second, less known tool is call Pipl. [url]www.pipl.com[/url] is a public records tool that scans a lot of databases to find information about the person entered into the search. Adding your location helps this a lot. An example: My dad. Hes an elder male that hates using the internet. He uses facebook and an email - thats it. He doesnt browse the net like most of us do, but he has more records than I do. Pipl found the following: His 'home', his first house, his current house, his moms name, dads name, wifes name, children(s) names, home phone number, DOB, birth records, both parents' death records. Pipl found only one record for me: my Facebook. Google had likely results as well Dad: a ton-o-shit Me: Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and VATSIM.
Doesn't come up with anything for me.

They couldn't find anything on me, could be that my first and last name are just common. And I ain't wading through all those results.
I have an uncommon name, oh yeah. Can't find me there though with all these results of long dead niggas.
Pipl found nothing and Google showed me like half a million people with my name.
My name is too common for anything useful.

Nope, nothing on me. I'm happy about that.
Dang it found an old myspace profile (08) that I had uploaded a picture to Closed it. Thanks Pipl!
There are a lot of people with my name apparently, and none of them are me.
--snip--
Neither this site nor Google have anything on me whatsoever.
it found me by name, but no details about me aside from age and location nothing for email.
Man, I made some extremely cringe-worthy youtube comments three years ago.
Medical records.
My real name gave me nothing. My email gave me my myspace from god knows how long ago that I barely used. :v:
Nothing for me.
I'm on google because my work has a website, and I have a facebook page I've accessed twice in the last year, but this site can't find anything at all about me. It even found papers my father wrote for a pathology study, but nothing at all on me. It feels like a diss.
Nothing about me except for my Facebook page.
only finds old accounts if I put in username, nothing with real name/email even with location. (also apparently I have a 5 year old deviantart account I used for absolutely nothing)
All I found was my old myspace that I didn't even have a picture of myself on because I never used the thing.
Literally nothing, I am happy about that though.
myspace and nickname I used in CS:S.. :suicide: and then the rest is mostly results for shows with the name Dexter Also ALF [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_ALF[/url]
See, the thing about these things is that they're mostly all scare tactics as they "spook" people and yell at them for their frivolous insecurity of information when, in fact, even if you use a PAID SERVICE online, every record you find is already freely available to the public. I've tried one of those "reputable" paid sites and typed in info. They had info on my family, however it was only info like our current home, past addresses under my parents name, roughly how much my hosue is worth and children of my parents. I was not on the list as the list was gathered through things like tax returns, selective service, jury duty, drivers license ect ect. Since it use those sources i was not included on the list as they only have my tax returns and selective service records which are more private. Even all of the phone numbers they had were either wrong or not given. They listed my brothers cell phone number as a number that doesn't even exist (it had too many digits). Almost all of these sites are accessing publically available data that the state knows.
Too much.
Searched my username; found my real name, city I live in, and age. [editline]9th April 2013[/editline] holy fucking shit I just found my yoyogames profile :suicide:
I did my family and me, nothing came up. Nothing on my usernames or email addresses. Google gets more information than this.
I found out there was a guy with my exact name who emigrated to the us in 1893 :v: [editline]9th April 2013[/editline] nothing else though
Luckily I tend to use false information. Searching my username gives me false names, says I'm in Argentina, Germany, or California, different ages, so on. There's also a few other people who seem to have Paramud as a username, so that helps.
