Search your activity before your partner does!

header-logo-gbMore than 70% of Brits admit to checking their partners online activity at least once a month, looking for inappropriate pictures or adult websites they have joined and so it has now become crucial for people to monitor their own online activity; checking what their partner has access to and preventing a letter from their divorce lawyer.

January is commonly known as the month with the highest divorce rate in the UK; perhaps the stress of Christmas was too much or it’s simply a case of ‘New Year New You’. Whatever the reason for the increase in divorce rates every January, this month has also seen a huge increase in the amount of people searching for their partner online; looking for pictures of them, searching for new friend updates on social networking sites and making sure they really were where they said they were last night.

A study, commissioned by www.yasni.co.uk, the world’s biggest online people search engine, found that the internet has led to 54% of people being even more suspicious of their partners and what seemed like an innocent conversation and photograph with an old friend in a nightclub, gets tagged on Facebook and leads to a huge lovers tiff.

The reason for searching for a partner’s online activity revealed the most shocking results; 48% of Brits claim they trust their partner but 21% of which admit to being nosey and therefore would check their partner’s online activity anyway. 19% of Brits admit their intrusive behaviour is through jealousy. 17% claim they know their partner is up to no good and almost 1 in 10 Brits actually want to find evidence their partner has been playing away so they can boot them out! The remaining Brits claim their online search is simply through curiosity. In addition, 68% of Brits admit they would check their partner’s private emails if they knew the password; 26% of which don’t trust their partner and 42% are just nosey.

Steffen Ruehl, CEO and Co-founder of yasni said: “With such a huge percentage of people checking up on their partner’s online activity, yasni really is a great place for people to monitor their own online reputation. People are able to search for their own name and find out what their suspicious partner will have access to online.“There really is nowhere to hide on the web anymore; especially now that people are so active online, with social networking sites and forums. People can post pictures or inappropriate comments that, when taken out of context, can lead to serious problems at home.”

ss2icon‘People Search’ is the first and only People Search application on the iPhone. ‘People Search’ lets you find the people that you are interested in.

Who are you looking for on the web?
* Your friends?
* People with similar interests?
* Celebrities?
* Your favorite musician / author / sports star?
* The team behind your favorite company?
* Employees of the company that you are interested in?
* Professionals of a particular domain?

If your interest is one of the few cases listed above, or among thousands of the cases that you can think of, ‘People Search’ does the job for you. With over 500 million people  handy, you can find information about any person that you wish.

You can provide a name, email, location or a tag and get the people that match the criteria. You can also use the advanced search feature to restrict the results by defining the additional input parameters, including age, gender, locations, etc.

Each profile filtered by ‘People Search’ includes a brief description, most relevant tags, list of web pages that contains additional information and the people who are related to that user. A profile also displays an image of the person, if available.  You can customize ‘People Search’ by specifying the information that you want to view for each profile.

When viewing a person’s profile, you can tap on a ‘tag’ to find out people that share the same tag. You can tap on any web page, displayed in the ‘More Info’ section, and view the page within the application. You can tap on any person displayed in the ‘Related People’ section to view that person’s profile. You can bookmark the person to have a quick access to his/her profile. You can also share the profile with your friends by mailing the person’s link on the Spock.com.

‘People Search’ is powered by Spock.com, the world’s first and leading people search engine. Spock.com uses a combination of search engine technologies and user edits to aggregate the world’s people information and makes it searchable.
