"People" Search Engines - Spock

Did you know that 1/3 of all online searches are "people-oriented?"
I certainly lookup people everyday, using Google, Yahoo! and Live Search as well.

I'm added Spock to my list , a people search engine that's indexed 300 million unique people and has 18 million users.

Searching on my name, which is fairly uncommon, it found several other Ted Demopoulos I didn't know about. It also was able to find a couple of friends that were either difficult or impossible to find online.

It's not perfect by any means, but another tool in the arsenal and a company to watch.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I blogged about Spock, I wasn't too pleased with the search myself:

Their "customer" feedback is especially horrible.

Try Pipl instead, it's cleaner and brings in more information on the search page than Spock does...

Finding the information of people is just an easy task. We can simply connect to people finder services and start searching for people by using the first or last names.
