The internet is crawling(more like racing now there’s 5G in some places) with lots of information. Literally. This makes the internet a useful tool for a plethora of purposes that involve the exchange of information and knowledge from holder to recipient.
One of the less obvious of these uses( or not so obscure usage, depending on your internet savvy) is using the internet as a site for drawing out a whole lot of information about the person.
Okay here, it’s not the cliché knowledge you are thinking it is, that we have here. We are not just talking about routine information about people that shows up on Wikipedia searches or the online biographies of some of the famous or professional business person. Not routine regular stuff like that.
We are talking of some private investigator stuff kind of information that doesn’t show up on routine web searches. The kind of details you wouldn’t expect to see when you just Google a name. Information of a very personal nature. Like personal phone numbers, addresses, photos, social records, relationship status and a host of other usually private information.
There are apps and websites dedicated to making you a 21st century sleuth, Sherlock Holmes himself brought back to our time. Some of these websites are People looker, spytox , pipl, peeplookup, zabasearch etc. These sites usually require you to enter in an initial details of the person you are interested in looking up e.g. Name, username, or phone number then they take it from there. For example say you were interested in looking up a certain John doe personal details, these sites are your go to dectective aids. They vary in type of information they provide, the various mechanisms by which they access the information they provide to you, and the initial information they require you to provide for the search. The information these sites offer is gleaned by traversing a lot of repository and other data holding sites including Tinder and the likes then compiled into search content for the individual.
Now that you know the existence of such capacity and you want to start looking up personal details of people of interest, how to go about it? Here are the steps you need to follow.
1) find a search website
This is literally the first step. There are a whole lot of search websites that as mentioned earlier, vary in type of information provided and the details they require. Here you need to make a choice of what search engine would be optimal for the kind of information you require, and also importantly, for the kind of information that you already have. By way of illustration, say you were searching for a certain John Doe, for whom you only have his names as details, it would be questionable decision to decide to utilise a search website that requires the phone number inserted. Vice versa for when you have the phone number but not the name. Also the details provided matter. It’s poor form and on the overall, not very smart looking to look for current relationship status in a site that only provides records of social details like prior convictions or employment records. Do a prior research on the nature of each search site and then choose appropriately based on the site credentials.
2) choose a winning combination
Each site has it particular strengths and weakness as far as depth and nature and authenticity of search results go. If the information you are interested in finding out about someone spans a broad nature, it may be the case that you are unable to find it all to a satisfactory level on one sole site. Then you may need to combine results from a variety of search sites together, bringing them together in a maximally optimal way to achieve your aim.
Another smart way of going about things is to use the content results from one site as the feed information for a more in-depth search. For instance, you can use the phone number generated from one search site as the feed information for another search site that provides more extensive information on the subject of interest. The proper sleuth mode of information collection.
3) this is an obvious thing, but note down collected details from multiple sites carefully and organize them logically in such a manner that you can make sense from them and utilize them optimally. You may want to arrange them as word documents or excel files. Any manner that you feel most at home working with.
