It appears that if your number shows up on a "normal" web page (such as my business), you dont get the same results as if it is a residence number with no other reference on the web

But I still can't find my old girfriend.

She's still around. Tommy and the Two tones have released another album recently, though I haven't heard much about it...

I don't have an unlisted number, and I used reverse listing, but either way, I didn't come up on the google search.

Reverse lookup has been around forever.

Years ago, in Chicago, you could get reverse lookups from 411 if you knew how to ask. They would forward the call to an operator who specialized in that type of lookup.

I have an unlisted phone number, so mine doesn't show up. That is just scary isn't it?

Someone else is listed with my number. Explains why I keep getting calls for the guy. May also explain why I am besieged with telemarketing calls.

Why is someone else listed with my number?

Scary stuff.

(sigh) I wish I had enough self-esteem to believe people were stalking me over the internet. Anyone wanna start? I can offer an address, two phone numbers, an email address, AIM and ICQ ids, and several pictures, including one of me as a child....
