snitch.name :: The Social White Pages

snitch.name tries to provide you with information on social networking sites, but it's not impressive. It's basically a multi search engine that runs searches on the common social resources and displays the results in embedded frames. Yes, it does save some time since you don't have to do it resource by resource, but you do get results such as the one from Linkedin which requires you to sign in first. There are better options out there IMO.

Hi Phil, some clarifications:

1.) In most social sites, you need to be registered to access the profiles of other users, so if you are not a registered user of e.g. LinkedIn there is no way you're any info.

2.) Actually I haven't found any other service that does what snitch.name tries, so I'd be grateful if you know something I don't :)

I appreciate the time you've put to write about snitch.name and I'm available for any help. User feedback is gold!

Hey Phil,

I'm a co-founder of http://socialwebresearch.com, a service that provides a breakdown of which social networks your clients are using within 48 hours, and growth projections for a year out.

It isn't as quick as snitch.name, but it is much more accurate and doesn't violate any terms of service with the networks.

I'd appreciate your feedback on how we could make this better. Feel free to drop me a line!

Ryan
