Wasnt this the same thing someone was blogging about a few days ago and refused to use it because of the creepy way it tracked everyone?

  No. Full Contact cross-references an email address to publicly available information. Full Contact basically just automates a legitimate public search on information shared with intent between a user and a site owner. The things that caused fury (and rightly so) the other day were a handful of tracking systems that use a single cookie across multiple sites (some with contact info) to break anonymity for the any site in the network. So the user think they're anonymous, but they are in fact personally identifiable to the site owner. BIG difference.

    I see, thanks for the correction.

    Probably not a big difference to the large majority of people who are not aware this information is public. A useful tool to be sure, companies should just be careful how they use it.
