   Well, whoisi isn’t a person search engine… it’s a site for you to keep track of your friends’ online activity.

   See http://whoisi.com/about for the gist on what the site’s about.

   Guess what, snitch has no data of their own… they display other site’s data – dummy….

   @ Joe Shaw
   I was actually following the article “3 Ways To Find People With Social Search Engines” (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-ways-to-find-people-with-social-search-engines/) which features whoisi.

   @ Pavel
   “Search for People’s Profiles on Social Sites” means the data is on other sites. What is your point?

   @Pavel

   IMHO the point is not the technical implementation but what service provides useful information. PeekYou, Spock, Whoisi, YoName & ex.plode.us failed to provide with any useful information whereas snitch.name delivered. I’m not advocating on its technical elegance or say it carries any technological breakthrough, I’m just saying it is useful. Plz see the user comments on that: http://snitch.name/about.html

   Storing data or using a super-duper framework/technology doesn’t make a service suck less if it is worthless

   I don’t care if snitch stores data on its server or looks for data on other peoples’ server. All I care is that it works. As an end user I don’t care about the underlying technology or implementation, all I care about is to do what it is supposed to be doing.
