Automated web-crawler harvests resume info
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7181&print=true
      * 18:34 21 March 2005

    A new search engine focused on people can automatically identify
    online information on individuals and weave it into detailed
    summaries.

    Just like Google and Yahoo, ZoomInfo crawls and indexes the web. But
    instead of serving up the pages in response to a query, it attempts to
    identify and extract specific information on people.

    After entering a name into the search box, a user is presented with a
    list of matching individuals. Clicking through to their resume-like
    summaries, can reveal their job title, company name, past jobs and
    universities attended.
