How do I find people on the Internet?
Netfind
Netfind is a simple
Internet "white pages" directory that can be searched using keywords. Given the
name of a user and a rough description of where the user works, Netfind attempts to locate
information about that Internet user.
It is helpful to know
the domain name of the computer used by the person that you are trying to locate. This is
generally typed in as one of the key words. Netfind will present you with a list of
possible domains based on the key words (perhaps all the domains at a particular
university).
Once the domain has
been narrowed down, Netfind uses finger to track down the person's name.
