Pipl People Search

I used to use pipl.com to scan for more background info on people I sourced. Recently pipl.com changed its format. I personally find the new version very user un-friendly and much slower to navigate. I am aware that we can click through to the "older version" until November 30.

I am curious what other sourcers, (that may have used pipl) think about the new format, and what alternatives are being used to get a quick list of potential name matches, that you can scroll through quickly.

Completely agree that Pipl.com has taken a turn for the worse w/the new version. Keep pushing them your negative feedback - a campaign from recruiters (one of their top user communities) can turn the tide. Zabasearch.com is handy, but Argali.com is the best of the free downloads for this (though there are reports it can interfere with your MSIE browser, but has no conflicts with Firefox).

You're not alone - I hate the redesign too. I like zabasearch but it's really more of a white pages search. Try 123people.com, its interface isn't the best but it provides some great info from around the web. Peekyou.com is also work a look.
