Lycos Releases Two New Search Tools
People Search is a rebranding of WhoWhere.com offering telephone and other data sources including direct links (labeled “professional profile”) to the Eliyon.com database. Eliyon aggregates data from a variety of open web sources. Be careful as some of these profiles might contain old, outdated info.
The other beta, Discussion Search, aggregates results from THOUSANDS (Lycos would not provide an exact number) of online discussion boards including Yahoo Groups. I agree with Chris, this is a very good idea and something that is long overdue. Some search result pages also offer direct links to “related organizations” and web pages based on your search terms. For example, this search for “search engines” offers a direct link to the InfoPeople “Best Search Tools” page.
