Snitch.name is a site which lets users search social network sites for a person by their first and last name in one single interface.

What snitch.name does is quite simple - instead of individuals having to go and search for someone separately on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or MySpace, it presents them with search results, from those sites, in separate blocks on one page.

The site searches and lets you find people, potential employees and/or learners etc., on social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, LinkedIn, Hi5, Twitter Google, Wordpress.org blogs and video sites like Vimeo. Additionally users can also make it search academic sites like Oxford and Google Scholar.

Have a search yourself at http://snitch.name/.

Note: An ideal tool to raise learner awareness of how easy it is for potential employers to find out more than the learners may want them to!
