HISTORY
The Spokeo concept started in 2005. As a Stanford student, Harrison liked to jump around different social networks. At that time, most of his friends had profiles on MySpace, some blogged on Xanga, and his dormmates were constantly sharing YouTube videos. Harrison was having trouble keeping up, so he rounded his college friends together to build a so-called social network aggregator. Working out of Harrison’s parents’ basement, Harrison and his friends publicly launched this pioneering concept on Techcrunch in late 2006.
While the social network aggregation concept was indeed novel, users were having a hard time identifying their friends’ accounts on various social networks. With this realization, Spokeo then set out to build search technology to automatically detect online identities associated with emails and URLs. In late 2007 Spokeo was refocused on automated people search and relaunched on TechCrunch.
Today Spokeo’s technology has expanded beyond the original social networks to include business databases, ecommerce stores, and other public databases. Spokeo will continue to integrate more types of content into the mix to better connect people.
