The site claims that 'look beyond resume' - is the data found in MySpace, FB, Friendfeed a valuable data to any recruiter? I can see this being used only by 'snoopers'/'stalkers' - kinda thing that will bring nothing but bad name to Social Networking. I still know a majority of the people who just do not go onto eBay thinking its a congregation of fraudsters and phishers.
This site sucks.
I find this startup rather disturbing...

#32How are they getting access to facebook profiles???
Quite. They have me tied by email address to Facebook and I'm 200% certain that my email address there is not "publicly-available information". Facebook permitting this app to operate will give it serious legal trouble in the EU.
Same here. Annoying.

#34Too bad it didn't work on me.

#35Disturbing indeed, they betray the trust that these social networks sites gives to crawlers. Most of these sites are available to crawlers it’s hard to stop crawlers on case by case basis.
I tell all my friends (hackers and non hackers) to never post any information or picture about you online that you are not comfortable sharing with everyone. This is a great warning to everybody.

#36How amusing would it be if this site was just a way to collect emails?
In any case, they are probably getting a whole bunch of emails right now.

Yeah seriously. Most of us have names that _someone_ on this planet also has too.
Or if you're really scared, don't use LinkedIn/facebook/Myspace et al. I view all of this stuff as filtering anyway. Would I really want to work at a place that is appalled because there's a picture of me drinking beer on facebook?

except Rapleaf lets you manage your reputation before they sell it off
