Spock - A New & Different Search Engine

Search engines have made looking up information such an easy task and anything you need to know can be found with a simple search, a click away.

Spock is entirely a different search engine from all the rest. Spock is touted as the leading people search application combining next generation search technology and community contributions to create relevant results.

You can search for people by name or a tag. The tag could be any personal information like hair or eye colour, interest, location, enjoys vegetables, or anything you know pertaining to the person you are searching for.

When I first signed up for a Gmail account last year, I wanted to use my name as the username but found that it's already been taken. How naive of me to think that my name would be unique. A search on Spock yielded thirty people with the same name! Oops! And that's only on Spock. I'm sure there are lots more people sharing the same name. No wonder, I couldn't get it for my Gmail account.

A random search for Nobel Peace Prize yielded all recipients of this prestigious prize. What I like about Spock is that when you do a search on a certain person or tag, you will get a result of all persons and things relating to that person or tag. Take for instance, a search for Dalai Lama will yield all the Dalai Lamas. This is neat. It's awesome for anyone doing research.

Spock is a free people and information search engine. You can sign up and create your own record or if it already exists, you can make changes and shape what people find about you on the Internet. You and others can also voice out about another's tag by voting for or against a tag, including pictures too.

Although it is not a social network, it does have some capabilities such as messaging and within a search result, you can find links to a person's other locations on the web such as his homepage, MySpace, Wikipedia, etc.
