Finding people with Spock
I received my Spock Search (beta) invite today and have been giving it a try.
I’m still not completely sold over the concept but it is quite cool to search for your name and see how many other people the search engine presents to you.
If you don’t know what Spock is, let me use their own words:
Spock is the online leader in personal search, helping users find and discover people. With over one hundred million people already indexed and millions added every day, Spock is building the broadest and deepest people specific search engine.
It has a smart way to link different social network (LinkedIn, MySpace, Friendster, etc) info into one big melting pot and thus building a mixed profile for it’s users and famous people with information spread around the web (ex. wikipedia, encarta.msn.com, etc).
If could help find some people with the same interests as yours but let’s see how this grows before I can really assert to its usefulness.
For example: A quick search for the term “DNA” brings up some of the big names like James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin and… uhm… Douglas Adams? (I guess some tweaking is needed!)
It seems I have 3 100 invites to give away. If you’re interested, leave a comment or email me.

This looks very cool so far… I sure would like to give it a try! Are there any invitations left? =)
Douglas Noel Adams, DNA. :-)
whoops! I missed that one. So I guess tweaking isn’t that much in need :D
I wasn’t at all looking for this SE but your post sold me to the concept. Any invites left?
I’d also be interested! Thanks in advance!
