Spokeo.com “Scam”
by | Internet | April 7, 2010

Here might be the site that you’ve never heard of, but knows all about you. Spokeo.com. It is very similar to Pipl, in that it searches for all your info on the web and creates a profile. Pipl calls it the “deep web”. Sounds kinda like a sci-fi. Spokeo.com, unfortunately only seems to work with US, but when I searched my email, it got some frightening results.

Websites are proclaiming it’s a “scam”. I call shenanigans. All that info is online. It’s like a that story of you being a slut, everyone knows it, but when someones says it to your face you deny it. Me, however, find this public display of all my “info” on the web exciting. It’s like I have a double life. Almost like a pseudo me trapped in the “deep web”. One day, it will start to live and become a real other me. Almost like a twin. Almost like Digimon. I find it fascinating. We’re entering an era, where most of our lives are transferred into something “different”. If, the internet still exists in about 20 years, would this info still be there? It’s like the best unintentional journal ever. Time Machine like no other.

You can go have a look. Once, I found more info on a hacker using the “deep web”. Pretty nifty.
