Internet Stalking Made Even Easier with Xobni

Michelle D'Attilio | Feb 24, 2010 | 2 comments

Internet stalking is so easy to do these days. I have to admit, I truly enjoy researching people and finding out pieces of information before I meet them face to face. I feel that I get to understand them a little better ahead of time and then I can use that information while we meet.

To that end, one vital piece of software for me is called Xobni (inbox backwards). Basically, you download the software and it works with your Outlook to tell you more about the person who just sent you an email. It will show you their picture (usually pulled from their Facebook account), tell you their company name, address, and telephone number. It also pulls information from their LinkedIn account and gives you links to their other social media accounts like Twitter, Facebook, and Skype.

There is also important statistical information included as well as a search that shows you emails to and from the person and the files that have been exchanged. This is all in the free version of the software. There is also a version that costs $29.95 for business use with more advance searches and filters.

For me, the most important piece is the actual profile picture that shows up. I like knowing what the person that I am emailing with looks like. This is also very helpful for first time meetings. One could argue that you could find this out just by doing some Google searched but it is really nice to have it show up in my Inbox with the email. It saves me time and makes me more efficient. I can’t ask for much more than that from a free piece of software.
