If i was to give you my name. it`s not but lets say John Smith, could you find out anything about me or anyone else for that matter online? Is this even possible? if so, where could i do it?
Long shot, but an answer either way would be much appreciated.
Thanks Bryan

Short answer: If you only have a name, it`d be rather difficult, but possible. If you had an idea of location, etc. it`d make it somewhat easier. There are online phonebooks (ie BT), postcode locators etc. If you have the IP address, you can get the information from the users ISP, unless they have surfed via an anonymous proxy.
But yes, it would be possible - probably very difficult and time consuming, but possible to find out more about the person just from a name.

As Hodge says above it is possible although I think you need to be registered on the electoral roll to be found on some onlibe phonebooks/people finders.
