As the need to find people becomes ever more common, people are associating Spokeo with People Search. A great example of this can be seen in a recent article published by the Wall Street Journal.
Simply stated by its author:
Spokeo.com is a search site operated by Spokeo Inc., a startup that lets users see what their friends are doing on other Web sites.
The best-selling financial newspaper in America mentions a few other people search technologies before wrapping up with:
Ruth Funabiki, a 57-year-old law librarian in Moscow, Idaho, recently discovered through Spokeo that a friend added something unusual to her wish list on Amazon.com: one of those disposable pads that protects mattresses from bedwetters. "There’s a voyeuristic aspect to it," she says. "I’m embarrassed. I shouldn’t be looking."
Spokeo is the only search engine to reveal this amount of detail. We are changing the nature of people search and turning it int o a much more personal experience. Previously, people search was only used by background checks companies and law enforcement. Now it is a tool for everyone.
Friends,
I love the concept of your business. Believe me, the time has come for such a tool. But after having read your blog for a month, it seems like an ongoing commercial for your product.
That’s cool. But I’d rather see more content about the vital area of people search; the downside of having incomplete or inaccurate people information; and how Spokeo plays into the solution to these problems — now and in the future.
I think Donato Diorio over at Broadlook does a great job.
Rock on,
Harry
Spokeo is a real time saver especially when it can search over 40 different social networks for information. I just hope they don’t keep having data center power problems.
Being able to find people on the web now using a dedicated search engine is taking off. More and more people are searching for lost friends, relatives etc. now more than ever before.
The best free people search engine on the web. People search is in gigantic demand right now (30% of all searches on Google & Yahoo are people search related, and that number is growing) because in this day and age we’re trying to protect ourselves and our children as much as we can from predators and other nefarious people–and as employers, it is now possible to use the Internet to weed out prospective employees who will not be good for your company.
