I'm seriously considering finding an 'info scrubber' company and getting them to scrub all my emails off social networks, forum posts, etc, etc, for the last 10 years or so.
While I totally think your impulse is a decent and supportable one, I'll note that even if your information is correct, if lots of people's information is bullshit, then it'll be harder to tell if your information is actually correct or also just bullshit.
I need to seriously talk with people and figure out what a sustainable long-term strategy is: do I mislead? do I scatter info? Do I be upfront? Do I strip it?
As a computer professional, I need to have an online face. I've decided that LinkedIn is my online professional face in the social media.
I think my current strategy is to treat my Facebook like it's public, use my named GMail as the email for it something to give out, and have a website with my name on it. That is, give enough info up front that's good so that people don't feel like they need to dig, and try and clean and strip the rest.
I'd have loved this application, had it not been so fraught with inaccuracy in data.
I searched for few of my friend's on this site. And I got results which was misleading, unless you know the person in all ways.
I got result for a search, which showed a photo that was not his. Few information about him, the rest someone else's - that's not a good thing to depend upon.
Needs lot of improvement in terms of the algorithm used for finding out the personal informations.
@vlion : I am also in search of such a tool. Too much information and mail ids floating around...
