TrustPlus Teams with ZoomInfo for PeopleSearch


TrustPlus, the online reputation manager, has added a PeopleSearch service that lets you get more info on more people. This new feature is powered by ZoomInfo and is designed specifically for gaining business information on other individuals.

PeopleSearch will be available on the TrustPlus browser add-on, the Viewer. This means that it can be accessible as you browse the web and visit the various social networks you're member to. It will show the additional search info right alongside the reputation scores of others in your Facebook, Friendster and LinkedIn networks.

The larger goal here is to bridge social networks by dynamically showing other users' sphere of web info, so even if someone has tons of "useless" friends on Facebook, you'll now be able to see that their network is more influential on LinkedIn. Mind you, this is still a pretty narrow bridge that's being offered by TrustPlus, when it comes to getting a greater perspective on networks' individuals, but it's a bridge nonetheless. It also speaks to the importance of social networking profiles' ability to create multiple "faces" for the many ways in which we may use a profile on a singular network.

Given the fact that social networks like Facebook and Friendster are introducing options for essentially creating different "profiles" for different networking purposes, the need for TrustPlus could be limited, or increased. Will it be more necessary for utilizing tools such as TrustPlus' PeopleSearch in order to get the whole picture on the reputation and web presence of those we may consider networking with online.
