Weekend update: Other things I found last week:

Since I failed at getting the updates done last week, these links may be a little stale. But if you didn't run into them somewhere else, there's some good stuff here. I'll be posting newer links as the week goes on.
More useful links....

  • Accurint has added a "People at work" search. You can search for a person and get information about places he/she has worked. Info is not 100% accurate, and may be based on something like Eliyon Networking (free), where you put in a company name and get names of people who probably worked there. (Info here comes from Web news sites.) The Accurint search is $1 per name, and in one search I tried the info came from state corporate records.
