So if anyone is interested, a friend of mine has been working on this site for some time (http://www.spokeo.com).

It appears to crawl public registries, facebook, myspace, etc to formulate an identity based on relations, former addresses, phone numbers, etc ... regardless of their email address. However, e-mail does appear to trigger the highest bang for the buck. Although I won't comment on the Pros/Cons - all those naysayers really need to do their homework first. Market Research / Online Data-Mining is clearly VERY sophisticated.
