Ok, so a whle back a buddy of mine had a hotmail account. A few PC crashes and moves later we’ve lost touch. I know he had a hotmail account, is there a directory or searchengine that can help me search?
(All the ones I’ve ran across in my years were unspectacular. Every tiem I search for myself instead of finding my 10 email addresses I get just one ancient one from mail.excite.com LOL)
If you have a hotmail account yourself, you can search in the hotmail directory for people who have their email address listed in the directory, though not everyone opts to be listed. It’s under the Contacts section in your account. Next to your list of contacts is a bunch of other things and under Tools, it says “Search Directories.” This takes you to the Member Directory. Initially you can just search for gender and age, but underneath that it says Advanced Search. Using that, you can search by name, city and a bunch of other things.
Or you could try googling his name. This doesn’t work so well if he has a really common name. For more common names, it helps to add something else to the search criteria, like city or something that would help narrow it down. Of course, if he’s got a really unusual name, he’ll be really easy to find if there’s anything at all about him on the internet. His email address may just be listed on some page for whatever reason.
