I usually use Whitepages.com for a quick retrieval of a person's address and phone number. Yesterday I was using the application and to my surprise, the company has souped up the entries. Some entries will give you the average age of the person of the entry you found, while others give you a title of the person, person's workplace, a profile, etc.
It looks like they are datamining information from Google searches, Linkedin, and other sources.
Check it out and search for your name!

I have mixed feelings about this because my name in the phone book is listed under my initials and now you can see my full name and my age group (Thank goodness my age is wrong!).
And, I love this:
They ask you the question: Is this information accurate? You have a chance to change it...so...I'm thinking...I will become a different person.

It is scary that you can pull your listing as a full name while listing initials in the phone book. I checked mine, and the age range was pretty accurate, but at least there was no associated "web profile".
