Finding Email Addresses on the Web

There are many different ways to track down people on the Web.

• If the person you're looking for lives in the USA or Canada, Reunion's Free Email Search Service may be a great bet, since they have collected over 30 million profiles.
  
• A number of the largest web directories are international in scope, and are another good starting point in your quest to find someone's email address.
  
• If you're familiar with the background of the person you're looking for (their interests, educational history or professional affiliations, for example) then you may find them listed in one of the smaller, subject-specific specialist directories.
  
• Try working the location angle. If you know where the person you're looking for is living, try looking for them in one of the many regional directories, which are especially useful outside the USA. Each directory focuses on a specific country or region.
  
• With a bit of luck, the person you're looking for may have registered their email address with one of the many change of address services, which help match up old and new email addresses.
  
• Finally, if you'd like to make sure your friends and family can find YOUR email address if they are looking for it, be proactive and register it!
