In September 2008, Intelius launched its online people search called iSearch.com at the DEMOfall, a semi-annual conference produced by Network World Events and Executive Forums. Intelius is a leading background check, people search, and identity theft protection provider based in Bellevue, Washington. Headed by Intelius CEO Naveen Jain, iSearch.com provides requests for everything from curious searching to personal security to finding a long-lost friend or relative. This Intellius product allows its users to search for people using data from a past or present background of the person.
According to visionary businessman Jain, iSearch is the perfect solution for people who are always wondering about the whereabouts of their friends, relatives, or loved ones. It is the best tool to use in a world where people are always on the move; where changing addresses or any other contact information is quite easy to do. iSearch is the one product that connects people to both the past and the present through information gathered online and offline.
Intelius’ iSearch.com employs “proprietary semantic technology,” which is a compilation of mechanically produced information. This works by connecting several online and offline public records like open databases, social networking website profiles, and professional databases to directly classify and attach data creating inclusive profiles of people. These professional files include information about email addresses, education history, classmate and colleagues, domain registrations, and employment background. Social networking profiles provide information such as friends, hobbies, interests, screen names, and activities. On the other hand, open files contain contact or personal information such as current age, present and previous cell phone numbers and home addresses, birthdays, and other connections.
iSearch, Intellius’ breakthrough product, is bound to change how people gather information about others using the Internet. DEMOfall’s executive producer, Chris Shipley, reveals that DEMOfall’s main aim is to act as the ideal venue for highly innovative groups and companies that want to showcase their unique, interesting, and fresh product concepts.
