Thanks to Alt Search Engines for reference to this beauty.
They write: “Then I remembered hearing about Carrot2, an open source search-results-clustering engine, just recently out in beta. In a nutshell, it takes search results, analyzes them and, on the fly, creates groups of the most common concepts or terms from those results. Since this is all done by algorithms rather than by humans, expect the odd result every once in a while, but I found the clusters to be consistently useful.”

The Federal Trade Commission is at it again. The FTC announced yesterday that a District Court ordered Accusearch in Wyoming not to pretext phone companies and sell the information. Folks, people or firms who get telephone customer information by pretexting the phone company are not within the law. Do not deal with them. See FTC Press Release Here. See PC World Story Here

Later I will post other misdeeds or trials for other wayward private investigators. If anyone wants to hire private investigators make sure they do the work legally and within the law.
