"Where does Rapportive get its data from?
We combine information from several sources; at the moment, these are Rapleaf, Gravatar and Twitter. In the future we will offer integration with many more data sources, both public (e.g. social networking sites) and private (CRM).
We make a clear distinction between:
* Public data, which is information that users have chosen to make public on the internet, and which anyone could find on one of the major search engines. We aggregate public data, take into account corrections and feedback, and show this information to everyone who uses Rapportive.
* Private data, which is privileged information to which only you have access. In order to provide the Rapportive service, we may need to process this data behind the scenes; however, private data will never be shown or disclosed to any other Rapportive user or any third party"

People search/profile aggregator by Microsoft.
"research prototype for exploring object-level search technologies, which automatically summarizes the Web for entities (such as people, locations and organizations) with a modest web presence"
- "generates summaries of Web entities from billions of public Web pages that contain information about people, locations, and organizations, and allows for exploration of their relationships"
- "known potential problems:
* currently only contains information extracted from 3 billion Web pages, therefore it is possible that some information for people with a substantial Web presence is still missing in our index;
* Some names and relationships could be incorrect, and the information may not be update-to-date;
* Name disambiguation is still largely unsolved
* Some of the summarization features are currently only available for people. We are currently working on these for other entities."
