How many times have you found yourself surfing Online, finding somebody you like but have no way to get to know more about this person? The Who Is This Person extension for Firefox takes care of that problem. With it you can search various places for more information on these people you wish to know more about.

So where are some of the places that you can search for your mystery man or woman? You can get results from LinkedIn, Wikipedia, Technorati, Yahoo Person Search, Google News, TailRank and more. There are more than enough sources here to guarantee a match in at least one of these searches.

How do you do so? All you need to do is highlight a name. That is as far as the technical know-how goes for this Firefox extension. I often see folks in Web hosting forums I’d like to know more about, but I don’t want to jump through the hoops to copy the name and then go to search engine to search engine looking for results.

This extension really does take all the hard work out of the situation.

This Firefox extension is for versions .7 to 1.5 of the browser. If you want to give it a shot and install it yourself, you can do so over at the Mozilla Update Web site.
