Does anyone have a good recommendation for a meta-search engine/web-site that searches the common social networking sites (e.g. myspace, facebook, etc.).

Thank you.

Maltego might work for you - I've not actually used it but based on what other people tell me it could help…

From their homepage

Maltego is an open source intelligence and forensics application. It allows for the mining and gathering of information as well as the representation of this information in a meaningful way.

Coupled with its graphing libraries, Maltego, allows you to identify key relationships between information and identify previously unknown relationships between them. It is a must-have tool in the forensics.security and intelligence fields!

Maltego offers the user with unprecedented information. Information is leverage.

Other than that you could try site searching with google e.g.
sitefacebook.com Bill Blogs

Obviously not going to do all at once though

Looks like a nice tool! Thanks

Has anyone already used it? I would like to know what kind of tasks or jobs can be accomplished with this Maltego tool.

As for the idea about Googling the sites - you could always make a Google Custom Search engine > http//www.google.com/cse and add the social networking sites to it.

Kind Regards,

Hi Cube,

You can try http//pipl.com/ and http//www.wieowie.nl/ Although the last one is a dutch site, it is searching in different social sites like hyves, myspace, linkedin, xing, facebook, etc. The site is straightforward. The "free" search is limited to 15 queries a day.

I've set a Google CSE which includes 370 social networking sites. The link is THis ONe

[Edit] Site list now includes +566 sites. If anyone wants to collaborate with the list pm me.

Blimey, you did that quick, and added plenty of sites! Great work!
(i'm guessing that you didn't add each URL manually, as that would be painfully tedious)

Kind Regards,
