Spock.com - The Best For People Search is a recently launched people search engine which is growing rapidly. Type in the name of a person you want to look up online and you will find them in the click of a mouse. Spock is like any normal social network, but the people that populate it have not necessarily sourced the information themselves.
Spock offers instant links to a person’s personal pages on social networks including Facebook, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, Twitter and many more. Plus you can see all their network contacts on Spock. If you wonder just how reliable its listed info is if it ain’t volunteered by the subject in question, there’s a voting mechanism that allows people to vote. Also, the network’s administrators will remove content that people object to. So while outsiders can source pictures, news articles, web addresses, and potentially rather sensitive details, most of the people profiled will have provided the information themselves.
Spock is a trend that is growing rapidly and the reason is that the company has found a niche that normal social networks bypass. The comprehensive approach and search friendly experience definitely is valuable.
Other than searching for people by name, you can also look up search results according to likes and dislikes, profession or clubs that people are members of. For instance, if you are looking for a green building specialist, you’ll find a certain Robert Wisniewski, topping the list of 19 results.
Mind you, he’s the only real green building specialist of the lot. Plus, Wisniewski’s personal profile is lifted directly from a company website. But offsetting that the rest of the information is highly useful because not only do you have direct access to Wisniewski’s personal pages on all kinds of social networks, but you also find tonnes of articles about people like him under the google search entries. Even though the service obviously needs time to build up steam, the comprehensive approach that Spock uses will definitely catch on.
