These days, it is hard to go online without coming across a site for singles to meet each other on. Even sites which do not market themselves as dating sites, such as Facebook and myspace, quite often end up being exactly that. The problem with these sites is that there is very little control over who can join these sites, and even less control over how they sign up. It is very easy for people to sign up to something like this and give only bare details about themselves. This begs the question – how do we find out more about the people we could potentially be meeting in a private place?
The answer is the brainchild of Naveen Jain. Naveen started up a company in 2003 called Intelius. This company set out to provide people with critical information about people they might need to know about. The idea is to provide accurate information about individuals, so that you can make an informed decision about them. Do you want to meet them? Well, after a check on Intelius, you will know whether or not they have a criminal record, for a start. Thanks heavens for people like Naveen Jain – business people with a conscience who are prepared to set up companies that actually help people!
