Hi,

http://www.5min.com/

Try this: Write directions for tying your shoes, or making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's not as easy as it seems; some things are best demonstrated, not written. That's what makes the 5min "videopedia" invaluable. It's a site featuring short videos that provide solutions or instructions for common and practical issues, like how to insulate your house or how to teach your dog to sit. None of the videos is longer than five minutes, and they're all user-generated, making 5min a kind of instructional video version of Wikipedia.


For example, there is a "Tech" category,which is divided up with these sections:


DIY
Mobile
Music
Software
Web
Others


I think it's a pretty cool place! There are more top ten sites at the webquote link @msn

Evidently you are thinking that this thread is "owned" by one person. It isn't. It is a thread where many (many dozens, perhaps even hundreds of) people, since this thread already has way over 1000 messages already added to it.

If you have a remark to make, to a particular person, or even particular message, you should direct it to that person or even better quote a person's message and name.

A little information of what you are talking about may even be more useful than the message that got you stirred to make the inane comment.

This does not even work right. I put in many names and it brings up a big list of name but never the one I typed in.
plus it takes you here to http://www.intelius.com/

No matter what name or state or having it sure all states I got the very same...
309 records found for that shows the very same names.
Even on those names it list if you click on View Details you get nothing.
Plus they have "View Sample Report" because they don't show you anything. Got to pay to get anything or hope you get something for paying.

Then if you do a seach and see that same list that is no good look up to the right and your see "Get A 24 Hour Pass!' and click it and your get this...
Your search has timed out and for security purposes, we deleted your current search. Please try your search again.

Search Again

Plus the link your at is https://www.intelius.com/purchase.php so they want you to pay.

wink.com

Wink is a people search engine that culls results from social-networking sites (MySpace, LinkedIn, Bebo, and more), followed by results from other sites where users keep public profiles, followed by results from the Web at large. You can craft your own Wink profile if you want to shape what others see when they search on your name, or you can just hunt for long-lost friends.

I did a seach on hewee and I don't show up but others that use the hewee did.
Then on some there was a link on the right for "More information" and "Background check" and it tells you nothing because it takes you to http://www.intelius.com/ and they want money. See my above post on the site.
