Finding people

[IFS]

How would one go upon finding someone by just having their first name, I know you can use pipl.com but is there any other methods you can use, that are more specific in ones search?

If you just have their first name, you do not have enough information to uniquely identify anyone. Heck, first name and last name isn't even enough.

Even the Death Note requires more than just a name. You need to have some other info about them. Like a home town or a school they went to.

I don't have bother the first name and surname, but I do have the first name, town, country, gender and age of the person I'm trying to find

Aah, stalkerlicious.

[IFS]

Aah, stalkerlicious.

lol not stalkerlicious, this is way different, I'm not planning on following this person in the shadows, I actually want to talk to this person about something.

Like how much money do you want from them to keep them alive?? o_O;;

J/K.. XDD

Anyways, if you know the full name, gender, date of birth, and location of someone then it becomes a not-very-hard task to meet them. I don't think it's appropriate to discuss this here since even if your intentions are good, the information can be used to stalk people.

If your intentions are good and you have nothing to be afraid of, I think that if you contact the government they could help you find the person.

EDIT: LOL using social networks and other "pipl" websites is pretty useless, unless the person is stupid enough to reveal everything about him/herself on the internets.

i dont think you can find a person based only on the first name. theres a lot of people with the same first name. i have like 3-5 people in one class with the same name,sexe,town and age. so its pretty hard if you dont know anything about them

If you have the town, age and first name then just google it and whatever social networking sites they use should pop up.

If they have facebook, you could see every "Alex" in that state and town, or school.

This has stalker written all over it, OMFG. YOU SCARE MY GRANDCHILDREN AND FUTURE WIFE. AND OBAMA. AND CLARK KENT. AND CHUCK NORRIS.

[SigmaSD]

Well if that person lives in the US and you know which state they live in, then you might be able to find the easier. Just go to www.Intelius.com.

Hope your intentions are good. If so, good luck!

I leave it to destiny. I never "planned" to meet the people I'm now friends with. ^^

[IFS]

lol okay just before everyone thinks this is creepy and I'm trying to stalk someone let me clear it up, the person I'm looking for gave me all the details, first name, age, gender, location, occupation I'm just looking for an email address because there is something important I want to tell the person, when we met I forgot to ask for details like cell number, or email address.

ps.
I'm not planning on releasing any of the information I have so that people can cause trouble with it, that's why I haven't said the persons gender yet, or what the persons age is, but obviously the location is the same as mine as we have met before just randomly

[mattBANG]

You could use Facebook. If you can find them by country and the name then most probably their email will be along with their Info page. Facebook pretty much demands it; however this is usless if they are super private and decide to not even give out email to Friends.

Also a major flaw in my plan, if they don't have Facebook. T__T

[IFS]

lol I don't think this person has facebook, I tried searching last night and got like a million names but none from my country, and those that are probably hid their location, but the person did mention something about a manga forum

[mattBANG]

Any idea of a username they'd have?

[IFS]

yeah but I don't know if I should release it or not, I don't want people bothering this person.

[mattBANG]

Hmm...maybe best play it safe. Can you wait until the next time you see the person? Or is this somewhat urgent or real important?

[IFS]

lol odds are there won't be a next time, it was just a random encounter

[mattBANG]

Sorry, got no more ideas then ;___;
Good luck finding them anyway

[IFS]

I don't know if someone can maybe give me the names of well known manga forums that would help, not the url just the names of the forums

[miniPhil]

You could try all of the tips in this tutorial. Not a whole lot more info than above but its something.
