I'll be speaking on this very topic at the California State Bar annual conference in September. Here are some of my postings on social media sites and techniques to search them. MySpace wins the Web site popularity contest Interestingly, the link in the following posting to the MySpace search on a gang name is no longer available. Background searching through social networking sites I gave a demonstration of another way to formulate a search query in this posting. I did a posting on using search engines that pointed the reader to a guide to using advanced search queries, which would apply to some social networking sites. Many of the social media sites, like Facebook, require registration before you can search within the site.

Tamara,

Good afternoon. Has anyone ever written an article on how to go about searching social networking sites for background information on subjects?

Knowing the tips and tricks of how to research this information would be very useful in developing leads while conducting background investigations regarding insurance fraud cases.

Thanks!
