I’ve added information regarding Canada Post’s reverse postal code lookup to the Canadian Reverse Lookup directory.
Enjoy!
I’ve gone ahead and added information about the various reverse lookup services that MyTelus offers through their portal site MyTelus.com to the Canadian Reverse Lookup directory.
Information regarding MyTelus has been added to the reverse phone number page as well as the reverse area code page. Enjoy!
From the AnyWho FAQ:
Q: Where does AnyWho get the directory information?
A: All of the residential white pages are public information
obtained from local telephone records for published telephone
listings. Non-Published directory assistance records are not
provided and are not displayed. None of the listings
contained in the white pages are obtained from AT&T billing
records.

I’ve added information about the reverse lookup services that SuperPages.ca offers to the appropriate pages here on Canadian Reverse Lookup.
SuperPages.ca offers some interesting lookup options. For example, their Business Finder allows you to find all businesses at a certain address, or even on the whole street. If you want to look by postal codes instead of addresses, you can! And you can find all businesses within a specific postal code, or in a range of postal codes.
I think these are great marketting lookup tools, to see what businesses are in your area.

Google is such a powerful tool. With only a few keystrokes and mouse clicks, you can have someone’s complete biography and contact information. So, it should be of no surprise that more and more people are using Google as a first line of defence before going out on a first date.
When it comes to modern courtship, cyber-stalking is increasingly part of the pre-date preparation.
About 43 percent of people who answered a dating-service survey said they type their date’s name into the Google search engine before they go out. And 88 percent of those people said they wouldn’t be bothered if their dates did the same thing.
The above quote is from an article on AZCentral called “Googling as dating protection.” Basically, it’s reporting on a study from a few years ago that suggests that as many as half of people that actively date use the search engine to check out a prospective date before going out for real. Sometimes this allows the searcher to learn positive things about their date, but often times also negative things.
This article complements another tip that we previously posted that suggests using Google as your first option when doing reverse lookups of all kinds. Many people use Google to perform reverse lookups of phone numbers, email addresses, and even home addresses.
