I’ve suspected for a while that many of the “Public” information services on the Internet are shady, completely automated or at least have poorly researched & managed sources.

The technologizer has put this to the test though. They used several iPhone / iPodTouch applications that are suppose to check your prospective “date” for criminal backgrounds, etc.

(View the findings at Stud or Dud? This iPhone App’s a Dud!)

(But I think the title sort of gives it away….)
