On November 19, 2010, the social networking site, MySpace, has signed an agreement with Facebook allowing users to sign into MySpace using their Facebook account information. Users will also be able to sync MySpace and Facebook status updates and photographs.
This new information brings new opportunities to us as insurance claims investigators, with over 500 Million members on Facebook and MySpace. This merger will allow investigators to gain valuable insight on claimants who post their daily activities and lifestyle on these sites. However, there are new challenges we are faced with as investigators as this merger will also inhibit the investigation process due to users increasing their privacy settings. We at ICU Investigations stay on top of the latest technology and techniques to provide our clients with the best internet research investigators available.
