Maltego, Fairly neat

[mates]

A while back I stumbled over a website that is entertaining and mildly useful. Its a website that eventually plans on becoming a program made to gather a persons information from sites. If you haven't heard of it you should check it out.

Interesting program, the download isn't available but when it is I will check it out! Thanks for the link.

Hmmmmm, why is it I detect the distinctive stench of a get rich quick internet scam?

Legal problems?

Or the "Corporate profile and information":

Paterva invents and sells unique data manipulation software.
Currently, Paterva is headed by Roelof Temmingh who is leading a light, but lethal team of talented software developers.

They sure as hell don't write resumes

I tried the web interface today, and the program didn't come back with anything special... I think that whatever is used to capture data be it spiders like google uses or something else, needs to be expanded to capture more information...

I searched my phone number and it just came up with what any search would, the city, state, country. so I tried my little cousins phone number and it came up with the same info plus a social website called xanga.com where she was a registered user, and came up with her profile so...

I think it is a work in progress type of thing that in time, could be very amazing!
Even put those stupid "background check" websites out of business, but at this time... im not impressed.
