How can you track someone that you've lost touch with down using the internet?

Have you ever tried and what was the results? What did you use? I mean like, people you've lost touch with.

I have entered some names into various MySpace-like sites, but afterwards always wonder; WTF?

The past is past for a reason, I think.

it has gotten me laid at some occasions.....

I'm here for the gangbang!

Classmates.com - caught up with a few old friends
US Search - same as above

There are tons of ways....some people don't want to be found....as was the case one of my Air Force friends....

As with me....unless you knew something very specific, like my address, I'd be nearly impossible to locate....

I've tried to look for an old boss of mine who moved to the States. I've found the same numbers that I got from other people. None of them worked.
It sucks, because he could've helped me immigrate.

Haven't found lost friends from school in Facebook or MySpace, since it's mostly for Americans, and you can't find many schools listed in other countries, if at all.

An old friend of mine found my work email address simply by googling me.



I mean, it was someone I have really enjoyed catching up with, I just don't like the idea that I can be found so easily. I think it's because my name is so unique. I should change it to Smith or Johnson or something.

And facebook has brought all KINDS of people from my past out of the woodwork.

I found a girl who I was bestfriends with in highschool through Myspace...

As we started hanging out again, I immediately was reminded why we lost touch, but now things betweeen us are good again

I have had great luck with pipl.com

try zabasearch.com

Myspace
Facebook
Friendster
classmates.com
Tribe.net

yellowpages.com (then do a people search--you have to guess the city if they have a common name).

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm going to try them when I get a chance to, the myspace pages didn't work so far though.

That's how my friend found her neice, through myspace, which is cool. As someone mentioned before though, if someone doesn't want to be found online, they don't use their real names, like my sister who never uses her real name but uses her pseudonym in place of her real name all the time.
