Search Fatigue

When you're looking for a video you've seen, or friend told you about, or report you know you've read that has the facts to support your Youtube comment, but, despite the power of Google, you tire and give up.

Kiwi Searches

Kiwi Searches (kiwisearches.com) is a cool website that lets people find out the truth about other people, phone numbers, and places. All you have to do is punch in a name, number, or address to get a full report about whatever you searched, including contact information, photos, social media profiles, criminal records, etc.

Friend 1: Dude, I think the girl I've been talking to from Tinder is catfishing me...
Friend 2: Kiwi Search her name or number.

Mom: I wish I could find Margaret's phone number so I could invite her to bingo at the country club Wednesday night.
Daughter: Look her up on that person search website, Kiwi Searches!
