I searched myself, and got much more information than I normally do -
about "other" Roland Perry's !!! [1] Adding over a dozen new ones to my
collection.
I think Google tends to point people at the "real me" on account of my
larger footprint, whereas 123people is less selective in that way (a bit
like Directory Enquiries doesn't prioritise results by people who make a
lot of phone calls).
A lot of their stuff points at Zoominfo (a site I didn't know about)
which also appears to consolidate information in much the same way.
[1] I'm not the one who writes spy and cricket books, but I was at
school with Douglas Adams.
