IdentiFight: What can people learn about you from your email address?

If you're like most of us, you probably spend at least 16 hours a week Googling your name to see what the internet says about you, and more importantly, what other people will find out if they look you up. IdentiFight provides a new tool in the effort to protect, hide, or at least identify your publicly available data.

Here's how it works. You enter your email address into IdentiFight's search engine, and it will look you up on a list of popular social networks and then display the results. The service appears to be facing some scaling issues and has disabled Facebook, Digg, MySpace, and Yelp searches for now. But we were still able to track down some slightly inaccurate data using IdentiFight (apparently someone forgot to update his Friendster profile when he moved from Princeton to Brooklyn).
