Comments on: Spock will find you

Spock, a new search engine, looks just for people.

Spock is late

Ok, I'm biased... But, everything spock is doing is already done by a bunch of competitors...

wink.com - has been doing peoples search focused on social networks
zoominfo.com - has been doing the spider bits

Both services allow for claiming your profiles, etc.etc. Spock is just another well funded VC venture trying to get press in a croweded marketplace.

Spock's fundamental problem

This site will be of little interest to anyone once people beguin claiming their names and editing their own entries.
Imagine news websites (or newspapers) that allowed the subjects of their stories to write their own quotes or edit stories in which they appear.
Would you rather read an unauthorised biography or an authorised (ie censored) one?
Spock shd switch off this feature if they want a site that users can trust.

Dr. Spock it's not

Spock fails miserable in an attempt to copy easy, free, a functioning sites like YoName.com (YoName) and Linkedin. This blog must have been written by a PR person. I think spock needs to consult Dr. Spock or YoName...

What spock is doing I think is illegal because it gets your private information from myspace even though your profile is PRIVATE and it displays it for all to see. There are 1000's of complains on their website. Apparently they do not practice moral principles. I wonder if I have lost possible jobs because of them.
