People Information Summarized at ZoomInfo.com

· Alec Couros

New Scientist reports “a new search engine focused on people”. ZoomInfo.com takes publicly available information on individuals from various sites and attempts to weave it into detailed summaries. I searched my own name, and the information was accurate, but certainly not nearly comprehensive. However, I also unveiled a rich conspiracy as I found out that George W. Bush is not only the President of the United States, but is ALSO currently employed as the British Prime Minister.

I guess that helps to explain Iraq.

I looked up my name and found 5 different people with the same name, but none of them were me. Oh well, maybe eventually I will be web famous enough to have a profile on ZoomInfo.

I guess the fact that I came up 59 times and none of them are me explains why I have a hard time getting an email address( and other name specific stuff) that is not already taken
