Yahoo developed a people search service to help people look for others and also stay in touch because of the demand from people who were always trying to look for each other. If you’re going to look for a person on Yahoo you should know that the search will work for those people that are in Yahoo’s directory.
You do not have to fork out any cash when using Yahoo’s service and at the same time easy to use. To be able to use these services you don’t necessarily need to have a Yahoo a/c. The first directory that I will refer you to is people.yahoo.com. There are basically three kinds of searches that you can conduct from here and there are reverse look up searches.
By simply searching for a person on Yahoo using just the name only you’ll get their telephone number and their addresses(listed and e-mail). You can search for someone using an email add and you will get the other details free and so on. There is quite a whole list of diverse directories that Yahoo has. Some of the directories relate to profession, business news and events, and others social events.
People do participate in these directories and you can use them to search for someone free on Yahoo. In addition to this Yahoo has discussion forums and a question and answer index which are all great places to find people. A lot of people use these things and you might be able to locate someone on any one of them.
The last tip that I can give you is how to look for a person on Yahoo is to use the Yahoo message boards. This operates like the message notice board that you find in malls, schools and companies. That’s where messages get pinned up on a board where everyone can read them. Pin up a message for the person you are looking for and either them or someone who knows them will see the message and let them know.
