Are you looking for a brand ambassador for your client? Or thinking of inviting a celebrity to your event? Or compiling a list of celebrities? Till now, it’s mostly done on the basis of how many names you and your colleagues can come up with.

Rest assure. Web 2.0 is on the rescue with Tinfinger. This is a search engine for famous people. You can check out its directory as well to view over 650 categories of famous people. Tinfinger also lists down the recent news that any particular famous personality has been getting in the media. You can submit profiles of famous people to its directory as well.

This is one good resource for PR professionals. The Indian celebrities category lists at the moment around 35 people, which means nothing. But considering that this service has just started, it’s worth a wait and watch. Maybe when the number comes to around 500, then it will be a gem.

Now what about Indian resources? Are there any sites?

Celebrities in India is one find where you can find lists of Bollywood actors. Not very useful but at least you can see a profile picture of each actor complete with personal biography, filmography, likes and hobbies, etc.

I couldn’t find any lists of socialites. Maybe creating one can be a good PR idea for the likes of Delhi Times and HT City. Or maybe India PR Blog should start a directory.
