Spokeo

How does Spokeo know which Digg and MySpace accounts belong to a particular email address? I'm not outraged, just curious.

Update:
Digg = Add Friends > Search for Friends > Search by email (My Profile > Settings > Advanced Options > Allow others to search for me by my email address (on by default))
MySpace = Search > Find a Friend > Email (can't find a way to disable this)

Update: IdentiFight!

I rather wish the bare-bones plaxo approach would take off, but hey, if this works for people who don't have accounts with spokeo themselves, that's pretty cool.

Another reason OAuth needs to become a widely adopted standard.

All fields are optional, email address will not be shown; no HTML, URLs are automatically hyperlinked.
