“I forgot I setup a membership with that other email address!”

Rapleaf is all about finding information related to a given email address. Often, people are surprised to find an outdated social network profile that is linked to one of their emails. But the other side of the issue is making sure you search all your email addresses with Rapleaf. You may have an email address that you no longer use, but other people know about that email and it may have information linked to it.

One example was my friend, who is in the process of having a background check done for her new job. She checked Rapleaf for her university email address, and was able to see her Facebook and LinkedIn profiles. However, she could remember that she created a MySpace profile back in high school and wasn’t sure why it did not show up on Rapleaf. We suggested she search her other email addresses that she used in high school, and she was eventually able to find that her MySpace profile was linked to her @yahoo.com email address. She then logged on to MySpace and made the necessary changes to her information.

The key take away is that Rapleaf searches based on an email address. We may find some of your memberships for a given email, but if you have used different email addresses to register on other sites, Rapleaf will not find those other memberships until you search that other email address.

If you are a Rapleaf member, you can also add more emails to your Rapleaf profile so Rapleaf can find all applicable memberships that you want to display. It’s easy to add more emails – just sign in and go to this page: http://www.rapleaf.com/PersonalInfo/manage_email
