Free People Searching Utilities?

nasteric asks: "I travel a lot for my job and I meet quite a few people when I go out for **beverages** It might be at a club in Spain, a pub in Ireland or at a Manhattan bar. Unfortunately, I don't bring my PDA to many of these places so I have to resort to getting email addresses/phone numbers on napkins or old receipts. I usually end up losing these napkins/receipts during the course of the night/morning and when I try to get in touch with them I usually don't remember their email address or phone number. Lately, I've been using some free online utilities to look up phone numbers/email addresses but I know there have to be better resources. As a result, I am turning to the Slashdot community for help. Does anybody know of any FREE online resources for locating email addresses/phone numbers, assuming you have the persons name and city/country of residence? Any online utility will suffice, whether it be a telephone companies website or a sited designed specifically to be an online directory." For phone numbers, about the best resource I have found is The Ultimates is a site that seems to do it all. What other similar sites have you found?

    I am reading slashdot right? Some how this question feels like it would be best answered by Dear Abby, this question is more about picking up women/men then computers, and as usual...if the person asking the question had searched google they would probably already have a pretty good answer.

    Is there any way to have a RTFM / FSGYI (Fucking search google you idiot) policy?

    From what you said, you travel a lot. "The Ultimates" is for US only.

    Pity. Keep on searching.

    I shall refrain from making apt derogatory comments regarding bars and picking up women. Iam an adult, after all. ;)

    Me.
