The people search engine Spock has launched today. The saddest thing about that is now by 400 some odd invites are going to go to waste. If you are unsure what Spock is, here is some of our previous coverage on the subject.

“Spock builds a composite person profile that is editable both by the profiled individual, and by web users. In order to achieve accuracy, users are invited to vote on the accuracy of tags and photographs of the person.”

“it’s a pretty neat little product. It definitely needs some work, a few quick searches will leave you wondering how a query for Sylvester Stallone led you to a page on Brittney Spears.”

“Yea, my problem with Spock has always been relevance. I have used Spock and I have no idea what I’m actually supposed to looking for.”
