Thank you for this wonderful piece of news. I am so happy to chalk up yet another reason to keep as far away as possible from all that "social" malarky.
HR drones all over the world are going to have a field day though - probably why it was made in the first place.

I can tell that "tentimes" is completely unbiased and is not in any way affiliated with the subject of this story. I trust his words completely!

Yes. Yes! YES! You should absolutely HAVE to pay to search for information that is already completely open and FREE on the internet.

Now that's an excellent idea. Here, let me get out my credit card.

I use Amazon Turk to earn a few extra quid when I'm bored, and I have had several "HiTS" testing this technology.

It works, and it does track peope down. Essentially it is one simple page, you enter the details and it has an uncanny way of coming up with your personal details, including phone number.

I don't think it's in any way secret, as the HITs are open to just about anyone working Amazon Turk.

At present I see no functionality to remove yourself from the database.
