More 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.

‘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.

Leapfish goes way beyond Google’s search by bringing you tons of results from all sorts of different places on the Internet as you type — including from Google. This is the search UI that Google would do, if it were starting today. Here CEO Ben Behrouzi talks to me about his company, his background, and shows me where Leapfish is going.
