User Added Anonymous

Here we will list examples, case studies, and direct information submitted by you the user as to how they went about their person search.

Here are a few tips for searching when you know little to nothing about the person you are trying to find.

If you are trying to find someone, but you don't know that much about them, it can become stressful coming to all of those dead ends. If you ever find yourself in this situation, try these tips for extra help.

The "Linking Others" Method

This method can be used on social networks, such as Facebook and Myspace. In this method and you can't find someone you are looking for, search for other people you know the person you are looking for also knows. This way, you are finding a "link person" to you and the person you are looking for. If you can find your person on the link persons, then you are good to go. If you can't find them, there's a possibility they are not a user on this social network.

The "Acquaint Activities" Method

This method can also be used on social networks, but also the internet general. In this method, you can use some activities the person you are looking for may be involved in to find the person. For example, if you see someone walking on a college campus wearing an organization's sweatshirt, he most likely belongs to the organization written on the sweatshirt. If you go to the internet and search for that organization's website, there will probably member information and pictures. You can use this information to find the name of the person you are looking for. From there, you can search other places for your person.

Similarity, these methods can be used in reverse to become more formally acquainted with someone you are already friends with on the internet, especially on a social network. If you have already "be friend" someone on a social network, but would also like to establish a real-life relationship with this person, some investigation work may be required.

First of all, use there user page for direct hints about the person, and his or her interests. From the main user page you are most likely to find out what the person's hobbies are, what types of organizations/activities the person belongs to, where the person works or goes to school, how old they are, favorite types of music and movies, and much more information if they are willing to share.

Secondly, social networks allow people to post pictures and blogs about their lives. If you have the time to read the person's blog or look at their pictures, you can probably find out a lot more about them.

Thirdly, try to determine if you two share any friends. If you and the person you are looking for share a few friends, that makes it easier to start a friendship.

Lastly, use these tools to start a conversation in person, or behind the keyboard (because most likely you will be able to get their screen name from their user profile!) to build a friendship, ask a question, or even take out on a date.
