Should be working now.

I input my twitter address and it didn't manage to get much; Twitter profile picture, website, twitter username, name, headline -- all of which are on twitter already.

It got a phone number but one I've never seen before. :laugh:

and for anyone that knows me, you should find this humorous:

Well, I went for it and gave them my email account, Facebook profile and Twitter account. What could it tell me? Well:

My full name, which is on my Facebook account.
It used my Twitter picture as my photo, which isn't a picture of me.
My email address, which obviously I had given it.
My Twitter username, again which I had given it.
My time zone and that I lived somewhere in the UK.
My Klout and Foursquare profiles, because they use the same username as my Twitter account.

All in all, not really that impressive (or proof that privacy controls do work).

Meh... I'm ok with the info on there... I'm not in denial about my exposure on the internet... I'm not totally private... Nor am I an open book to anyone who wants to steal my identity :-p
