People Search with PeekYou

Peekyou is one of the new kind of people search services. It allows you to search people either by name (first and last) or username. One can indicate the search realm. It is also possible to add tags to a search query. The query result is presented either as a list, a grid or as a map. One can also refine the query by ###, age or location. I like this presentation a lot.

The results of a query are very US oriented, so it has limited appeal to me. Also here one finds integration with the Intelius-service.

On my name there are now two results: one is erroneous and caused by the troublesome signup procedure. The other one gives a good summary of me on the web: correct users names, correct work places and correct links to blog, icq, linkedin, etc. Only the location given is wrong. I wonder where they found that one? And finally the image is correct.

Clicking on my name one can zoom in a bit further and see some (11) services, where I have registered. Also links to web-pages (6), where I am mentioned ar listed.

I tried to sign up for the service in order to correct some information, but never managed to get signed up. I gave up, a pity.
