Myspace Vs. People Find

If you ever tried finding people on MySpace or FaceBook, you probably hit more than a couple of snags. The truth is searching for friends on these modern online watering-holes is not the easiest thing in the world.

Dont try searching by the display name, which is often not a name at all. Most people, or at least smart ones, dont use real names here. Asphyxia Venom, a widowed 90-year old female dwarf from Bulgaria may just turn out to be a teenager from Des Moines.

You may try searching for your friend by email address, that is, if you know the email address. What If you knew the person before email? It only seems like emails been around forever; as recently as 10-12 years ago, we actually called (from land lines, thank you very much) or wrote letters to stay in touch.
If name and email are out, there are other searchable fields a-plenty: gender, age range, relationship status, country/mileage radius from a zip code, ethnicity, body type, height, smoking and drinking preferences, sexual orientation, education completed, religious preference, income, children, and interests. Good luck finding one person among all the single straight 30-ish non-smoking college-educated agnostic white males in the tri-state area who are into music. On top of that, keep in mind that some people dont even provide all these details in their profiles. You may know certain identifying facts about your friend, but unless he wanted to share them in his profile, youre out of luck again.

And finally, heres a doozy: what if the person you want to find gasp! does not have a profile on MySpace, FaceBook, etc? What if its not a joke, or a game, but a serious search for another human being, and peoples lives and happiness depend on its success? Chances are you need much more reliable search tools.
In that case, do yourself a favor and go to PeopleFind.com. Youll need little more than the actual name of the person youre looking for. If you can also provide a possible past or present location, you are practically guaranteed a successful search. On PeopleFind.com, you will find out any and all public record information available on your long-lost friend or relative, giving you a pretty good idea of what he or she has been up to lately. Youll be dialing that unlisted phone number faster than you can say: Oh snap!

Remember, let PeopleFind.com do its job and find your people. And then, if the two of you choose, you can meet and have fun on MySpace.
