Note: Stalking is serious business. When we say 'stalk,' we're exaggerating, not recommending !!!   Okay, fine, you can't talk finding people online without mentioning the big G. For internet superstars you'll get great results by just typing his/her name into Google's search box, but for civilians, common names or names with double meanings, a few advanced Google techniques can help narrow down the field of results.
  • Enclose the first and last name of the person you're searching for in quotes when you enter it into the search box (like "John Smith").
  • Include other relevant words, like the person's profession, employer, location, or screen name, too (like banker or Austin, Texas.)
  • If the person you're searching for is likely to appear on a particular web site--like a school--search only that site using the site:URL operator (like site:ucla.edu "John Smith").
  • To look up people by face, search for them on Google Images to get a quick visual--especially useful for people with common names, or to determine the gender of a name you never heard before.
Get Context-Menu Access to People Search Engines with the Who Is This Person? Firefox extension Finally, if you run across folks online you want to know more about often, search a ton of engines for someone's name with the Who Is This Person? Firefox extension. Simply highlight the name on any web page and look 'em up on Wink, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, Facebook, Google News, Technorati, Yahoo Person Search, Spock, WikiYou, ZoomInfo, IMDB, MySpace and other engines from the Who Is This Person? context menu item. For more online sleuthing resources, check out Wendy's great tutorial on searching public records online. To make yourself more findable? Have a say in what Google says about you. Also, many of these services let you "claim" your name and add information to your results. Do a search for your own name and click the link that says, in effect, "Is this you?"

From the page: "When you re trying to find someone online Google s not the only game in town. In the last two years a handful of new people search engines have come onto the scene that offer better ways to pinpoint people info by name handle location or place of employment. While there s still no killer one-stop people search there are more ways than ever to track down a long-lost friend stalk an ex or screen a potential date or employee. The next time you wonder "What ever happened to so-and-so " you ve got a few power people search tools to turn to."

Right, it's scary, but useful nonetheless, not necessarily for stalking.
