Equip thyself before thy meets someone

I am not talking about war. I am talking about a fruitful meeting that happens when you know some facts about a person beforehand.

How many times have we googled a person? Be it to know about a renowned scientist, potential date, recruiter, or plain simple self. But, the problem is that we encounter a lot of websites with the same last name.

Pipl [via Digital Inspiration] is a collaboration of plain vanilla search and geographical location. The results are structured based on quick facts, contact details, profiles, publications, websites etc. Below an excerpt from their website:
Unlike a typical search-engine, Pipl is designed to retrieve information in real-time from the deep web, our robots are set to interact with searchable databases and extract facts, contact details and other relevant information from personal profiles, member directories, scientific publications, court records and numerous other deep-web sources.
Go ahead and try it. I know you are eager to pipl your name. ;)
