Is Spokeo Okee-Doe-Kee?

So is privacy an issue of the past or are we just on social networks oblivious to what we post about ourselves? Spokeo offers a service that will find and track information based off of a person's email. Granted the information that Spokeo tracks is public information, but non the less, it is a little creepy and intriguing. You login with either your aol, gmail, hotmail or yahoo email address and it pulls in everyone from your contact list and starts tracking them across the following networks:
