When you are wanting to do some background research on a person, start with pipl.com.  Pipl is a search tool that is optimized for people search.  It digs deep to organize and present relevant information about the search subject.  After you run a search on yourself, just like everyone does the first time they visit, you'll notice just how much information the collective internet has about you.  You may be surprised.

Pipl allows you to search by a person's name, email address, username, or phone number.  Its data comes not only from web pages, but also from web databases that according to their website, typical web search engines don't crawl. 

So, before you accept a new customer, hire a new employee, engage with a vendor, or work with a new partner, do a quick pipl search and see what comes up.

Note: Pipl is not a suitable replacement for traditional background searches and other due diligence efforts.
