YoName.com - Search for Anyone Across Social Network Sites

yoName allows you to search for people´s social networking profiles all from one spot. You can type in the person´s name, their email address, or their username and see which sites they use and then go to their profiles. So far, MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, Xanga, Digg, and Match have been added. You can also use it to have fun and check out the various fake and real celebrity profiles online. It can actually be useful if you´ve lost contact with someone and want to get back in touch. You may know just their name, but with that you can find which networks they´re using and then check out that network and reconnect.

“OK. Let"s say you"re at the club and you"re flirting with this total stud (and he is way out of your league, by the way), and, boom, you score digits. The problem is, genius, that the next day they"re still in the pocket when you toss your jeans in the wash. You remember his name, but he"s not in the book. I mean, who even uses the book anymore except to order pizza? Exactly. So now what do you do? yoName!

With all of the social networks out there, it´s useful to see who of your friends are on the various sites. Each site tends to offer their own twist, so you may be able to get more information or share media on one site, or check out what they´re dugg on another. People will want to use it to check out what happens when they type in their own information.

How will they make a profit off of this? Will people continue to come back to the site once they´ve been the initial time, or will they just search for people using the searches already in the social networks they use? Currently it appears to not be working at least when I enter my information for some of the sites. When and will they fix this? Will they add all of the other social networks?
