Ok, thank you, appreciate the clarification. Sorry to post twice!
>You talking about corporation searches on SOS sites?
Yes. It's public information, BO & BV are ok with public info, so I got the answer and know where the line is.
The reason I asked is because that corporate info leads to connections between people - this is how we map their connections. Like Littlesis.com shows, using this public info how people are connected to each other, maybe as alumni, or other associations together and the wives are on boards of directors together and were in the same sorority (again public info).
This is how the Muckety Maps are made - same info, all public. Those can be so enormous and overwhelming, but are also a fantastic resource for this type of public, open-source info. We can use that and map the connections between people we are interested in and present it in a much less cluttered & overwhelming way, but simplified & clear. That way it is digestible to the average person.
