[September 09, 2008] Intelius Launches iSearch.com for People Search Tweet (Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Intelius, a people search, background check and identity theft protection provider, launched iSearch.com at DEMOfall 08. With applications for everything from personal security to finding a long-lost school friend, iSearch.com allows users to search for people using information from a past or present context. "Intelius' iSearch.com is the next generation of people search and is destined to change the way we search for information about people online," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMOfall 08 conference. "DEMO exists to provide innovative companies like Intelius with a worldwide platform to launch the most groundbreaking products; iSearch.com is sure to generate a lot of attention and has the potential to make 'Googling' someone a thing of the past." iSearch.com uses proprietary semantic technology to link billions of online and offline records from public databases, professional databases and social networking profiles to instantly categorize and connect data creating comprehensive profiles of individuals. Public databases contain information such as current and previous phone numbers and addresses, age, relatives, and neighbors. Professional databases include information about employment and education history, email addresses, domain registrations, and colleagues and classmates. Social networking profiles provide information such as screen names, interests, activities and friends. The company noted that someone searching for a childhood friend can turn to iSearch.com using name and a long ago known location. An individual seeking an old colleague can start with the name and last known place of employment. In either and all cases, iSearch.com links past information to provide, among other data, current contact information and professional history. "iSearch answers the age-old question of 'whatever happened to ... ?'," said Naveen Jain, founder and chief executive officer of Intelius. "We live in a society that's continually on the move. The frequency in which we change addresses is greater, the amount of time we spend at a job is shorter, therefore our contact information is constantly changing and people are left with nothing but dated information about us. iSearch transforms this process by allowing people to link old and new information with online and offline data to instantly provide the most relevant results."
