Research & P.I.’s

May 26th, 2009  |  Published in Uncategorized  |  4 Comments

Researchers like us sometimes feel like private investigators. We search, mine, dig for information that is not readily available. And then we summarize, analyze, and bring meaning to it.

Not so different from a P.I., right?

Well, there are some overlaps, perhaps. Way more similarities in my dreams than in reality, I might add. But it fascinates me and I try to keep up on the tools the P.I.’s are using because some are really useful to regular (la-dee-da) researchers like us. PI Buzz is one of the sites I keep in my feed. It’s my Perez Hilton.

Just thought I’d share.

    LOL, thanks for the comment!
    Trust me, if any of my clients (or I) need PI services, I will be outsourcing! (I’ll bookmark you :)

  3. I’m a private investigator in NYC.. I’m curious, what type of cases you are researching? Do you work alone or for a company?

    Hi SS: We’re a business research company – sometimes we look into work history/backgrounds for orgs before a meeting, press, etc. Sometimes we’re working to find out more about a company or industry or product. We don’t do PI work – but I have made some referrals in the past!
