BeenVerified: run background checks on your friends and be creepy.

BeenVerified.com has released an iPhone app that allows you to conduct 3 free background checks per week. You can find anyone’s criminal records, property info, relatives, neighbors, age, etc.

Generally speaking, this is probably a super great and super bad idea at the same time. Part of me wants to say, “Yes, it’s the best! Muhahaha”. But, upon conducting a background check on myself, I was instantly horrified. Either way, background checks are quickly becoming big business on the web. However, regardless of what site you use, they always seem to require hordes of money before letting you close to anything resembling information. This app gets you closer to discovering the location of your friend’s secret lair and does so for free.
