Juan Pousada, an information technology manager for a law firm in New York, has used Google and other search tools to track down acquaintances from his native Spain.
“I’ve been able to find a lot of school friends, a lot of whom moved after the European Union was created,” he said. “You start thinking, ‘Where are they now?”‘.
Pousada said using the Web site of the main telecommunications provider for any given country, like Telefonica in Spain, is often the best way to find people outside of the United States. But sometimes even with the most diligent effort, searches can come up empty.
“I had a friend, I was the best man in his wedding, and I’ve completely lost track of him,” Pousada said.
