pipl Pipl is a Great People Search EnginePipl.com is a fairly new People centric search engine. It actually does seem to work very well. If you enter someone’s name, it will easily pull up all social network profiles including Facebook, Flickr, it will also return public records (such as SEC flings) that include the target persons name, and it will also provide that persons e-mail address, quick facts, and personal pictures - scary. The company is doing well, with 557,000 users in December 2008 (ComScore), and 1.35 million unique users in 2008. It still trails the number one People search engine by unique visitors, Spock, who had 2.38 million visitors in 2008.

  • Hmm, I did a few basic searches of fairly known people such as Conrad Black. Pipl did return fairly good results. I also did a few searches of other friends, which it easily returned their social networking profiles, photos, and contact info.

    I don’t think it’s the best service out there, I mean, even searching Conrad Black failed to provide too many quality results from public records and SEC filings.

    I am sorry but this email didn't tell me nothing...did you test it? I think it's one of the worst people search engines compared to wink and white pages. I would recommend that you test things before posting if they're "great" or not.
