Industry = Internet & Online
Press Release Summary = Most people lack the expertise required to conduct criminal background checks or to effectively search for people (e.g., friends, family, relatives) or information online. Doing so usually requires an enormous commitment of time and money, especially since most informational sources are scattered around and only vaguely publicized. A new site, Best-Detective.com, alleviates that worry.
Press Release Body = April 6, 2006 -- Searching for information in an online phone directory can take more time than many of us would like. Besides, most of us lack the expertise needed to perform such searches effectively, much less to conduct background checks on potential dates, employees, apartment tenants or others.
Steve Maclin, Ph. D., university professor for the past 12 years, says that is why he developed his new site, www.best-detective.com. After conducting exhaustive online research, Dr. Maclin discovered the need for a website that would provide free, comprehensive evaluations and comparisons of the very best online detective services of the year.
Maclin explains that, "The original idea for the website was that it would be a \'review site,\' one that would simply compare/ contrast/ review the major online detective services available. In the process of evaluating available services, we noticed an even greater need for a site that would (1) detail its evaluative criteria, (2) provide updated information that would highlight the very best services of a given year, (3) provide immediate access to each of the top services, and (4) provide news and articles related to the most popular keywords used for online people searches (e.g., online investigations, background check, cheating spouse, criminal records, public records, etc). We placed our findings in an even broader context, i.e., of warning users to NOT purchase ANY service until they had read our product reviews, as this would inform them as to what they might reasonably expect from each product/ service.\"
We found that online detective services are all alike, but only in the most unimportant respects. Where it counts, is where they differ and it helps to have at your fingertips the academic expertise required to evaluate and compare these products as one would compare \"apples and apples.\" One product, Net Detective, boasts a 211+ million name database of info which is updated every 1-3 months, so users get the most recent data available. Most other such products either offer much smaller databases, rent the use of Net Detective\'s database, or simply fail to update. Then, there is the cost. Where many of the top 10 services ask $50 or more, Net Detective offers its award-winning tools for a one-time fee of $29.
When asked if he knew of any interesting background check stories, Dr. Maclin replied, "There certainly are!\" Karen Green of El Paso, Texas \" . . . wanted to track down [her] ex-husband because he hadn\'t paid child support in 6 years. When [she] downloaded Net Detective off the Web, she found him hiding in Texas. Plus, she was able to find the contact she needed to fill out the paperwork, hire an attorney and collect back payments.\"
