I've just picked up a Mozilla add-on which when you highlight a name, that name is searched for throughout the web and anything with that name is provided as information. An example would be to highlight the name you have given yourself on MSE, then once clicked, everything you have written about under and using that name is before your very eyes.

    I put me email address in it and it spued out my flickr id and Stumbleupon id, and my full name.
    Would probably give out much more if I didn't use so many email addresses for different things.

    This website is alright, it also shows you how to hide all of the details it extracts. I didn't realize my stumbleupon account was so visible. Swiftly changed.
