TechCrunch.com just posted an article about Pipl which is a new ‘people search’ which I just tried out.  Very Google-esque in its presentation, but the results are pretty creepy. It crawls the ‘deep web‘ which are pages that aren’t publically linked to, as well as MySpace, Facebook, Flickr.  Doesn’t stop there.  I will also dig out news articles, blogs, mugshots, and public record
