ATTENTION EVERYONE---There's a site called Spokeo.com that's a new online phone book w/personal information: everything from pics you've posted on FB or web, your approx credit score, home value, income, age, etc. You can remove yourself by first searching for yourself on their site to find the URL of your page, then g...oing to the Privacy button on the bottom of their page to remove yourself. Copy & repost!

Weird, entering in my email address brings up a lot of pictures of me with my mom's name.

[radamanthys]

Meh, it just aggregates some easily obtainable public information. Not very accurate, either. It says I have kids, heh.

It's pretty innacurate.

It shows my hobbies as reading and home decorating... and that I own an RV and not interested in politics.

It has a phone number that has been disconnected for 2 years.

It claims I've been in this house for 12 years... even though it's only been 1 year.

But hey.. they had that I have "kids" dead on... ZOMG THEY HAVE ESP!!!

[radamanthys]

Haha, it also says "reads about world news & politcs" as well as "Is not interested in politics" for me.

[Mogonis]

Est. Home Value: $1M+
Ha.

[Anebriated]

While its entirely possible I am pretty sure I dont have kids yet...

[Cephalopod]

Yeah, this is very vaguely correct. Like visiting a psychic.

The website we found a few days ago that analyzes your website visiting habits freaked me out more. (Mostly because it said I was a conservative. YOU TAKE THAT BACK YOU FUCKING LAME ASS WEBSITE! TAKE IT BACK NOW!)

[Buckwheet]

Ha.

Totally. It shows me living in a assisted living community miles from where I live and says its worth millions.

[Ryvicke]

It doesn't even have me. Disappointing.

That son of a bitch.

Edit: Dude, it's searching FaceBook where I made all my shit public -- The closest thing it registers is telling me I live eight cities away in Connecticut: And that's for an e-mail address. It's giving me a map of the world when I try entering any variation of my first and last name. Bullshit. I'm famous.

From what I've heard removing yourself only removes it from the public site. Those with pay accounts can still see it. I'm not 100% sure on that. If you've removed yourself and can verify that you're no longer on there, PM me and I'll see if I can see you on my payed account.

Overall, I find the website really hit or miss. I've pulled some addresses of people from their name and idea of where they live.. Also gotten private email addresses and such. However, the housing values and such seem to be wrong and so does some other crap.

[Showal]

haha I got a neg rep for spokeo confusing me with my mother.

One of those sites estimates if you're a guy or a girl determined by your web browsing history. It guessed me 50%-50% as being a guy or a girl. Makes sense, since I share this computer with my girlfriend. I thought my sites would probably weigh more heavily since I only visit the most awesome web sites and most hard core porn sites too.

omg they have this picture of me

Everything it had about me was either grossly incorrect or from 15 years ago. I don't get it.

They aren't allowed to list things like flip flops, cardboard boxes, and cripple head. Duh.

Can I make my own submissions to spokeo then?

Fucker :(

[TheEschaton]

Mine says I'm caucasian. LOL. And that I joined a shopping club.

[AnticorRifling]

Mine says I'm caucasian. You are, you're just using a bronzing agent to make sure you look good on a company's demographic survey to ensure you can get hired without the need for skills/talent. Staple on a vag and you're a shoe in for any position you want.

[4a6c1]

Completely innaccurate. Silly. Fun.

If they combined four of the profiles from the four states I've voted in in the past 10 years then THAT profile would be perhaps oh, 75% correct.

I fucking KNEW you were white.

[AnticorRifling]

Cinnamon bear is really a polar bear......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Drinin]

Apparently I've been homeowner for 23 of my 27 years and my house has appreciated in value by 5x. Oh, and I make over a million a year. Too bad it's wrong, I like the fantasy me.

[Drisco]

I'm not on there. Sad Face.
