yoName.Com - What’s yoName?
May 24, 2008 – 10:51 am
I rarely gush about any of the websites I review on here, but yoName is absolutely fantastic. Honestly, how many high priced reunion sites have all of joined, trying to find our long lost high school friends? And how many times have we been disappointed with a bunch of wrong results, that look suspiciously generic, and have no useful information at all? yoName.Com takes the eraser, and sweeps clean through obnoxious, and expensive reunion and people search websites.
All you have to do is type in a name, email address, or phone number, of the person you’re trying to get in touch with. Click one of the search options, or just hit enter, and yoName.com does the rest. yoName scours the most popular social networking sites for your friends, or acquaintances, and then brings it back to you. For free; not $36 a month, or higher. And, unlike just searching for someone on Myspace, you can instead search Bebo, Facebook, and Myspace all at once.
This concept is similar to PeekYou, which was reviewed earlier last month.
What’s the concept?
Free people searching tool.
Why should you care?
If you’ve ever tried looking up someone from your past, then you should definitely care.
How do they make money?
Ad revenue, and link sharing.
Will this company last 5 years?
I think so; they’ve already entered a revolutionize market with some we all desperately need.
Suggestions for improvements?
Maybe a few less ads, but otherwise, it’s terrific.
