The new people search engine, Spock, launched today to the world! Spock already had over 100 million people in its database. Sounds simple, like another Google clone, but think again! Spock is purely about people search. While wink, LinkedIn, and ZoomInfo.com have been around for a while now, Spoke's approach is to use meta tagging, in combination with a wiki like interface. The result is extremely accurate searches, with a lot of pertinent information on the people you are searching for.
Try a search for someone in Google, and you get everything for someone's name, a lot of things which are useless. Search on Spock, and you get extremely specific information about the person you are researching. Instead of just searching information that is crawled, Spock is smart, and try's to "read" the document for information, and stores the information. It's actually a really cool system!
Check out Spock today during your lunch hour or break! While you're there, make sure to upload your picture and set up a profile if Spock hasn't found you yet!
