I haven't had quite an experience like that, but any number of times I've found a sexy Flickr photo on OCC or elsewhere and tracked it back to the original Flickr account with Flickr finder. I'm surprised how many people use their real names as their Flickr handles, which makes it easy to track them down - their home addresses, jobs, etc. I'd never do anything with the info other than feel very voyeurish, but it does give me an added sense of "insider" voyeur.

One gal, who posted some very sexy pics on Flickr (which I shared here), now works for a very respectable venture capital operation in Chicago. I wonder how her bosses would feel about any of their clients seeing her party antics - scantily dressed or topless. Another lovely went out of her way to keep her true identity secret on her Flickr account. Her prom pics were very hot, but she also posted a picture of a changeable sign in front of her school that said "Congratulations Holly ***** on making Cheerleader at U of T." Easy to find her once I had her name and her school.

I'm also surprised that an ex-girlfriend/fiance of mine has left enough info on the internet for me to know essentially everything that goes on in her life (she was never the sharpest tool in the shed). I originally stumbled onto it accidentally, but now I actively check. I even know her email address because she put it in a place in Facebook that anyone could see. The relationship ended badly about 28 years ago (with her attempting to do me really dirty), and I've harbored ill feelings ever since. I've been tempted to send her an email telling her what I think about what she tried to do to me back then, and ask her if she told her husband the same lies she told me back when we first met.
