Spokeo People Search

As the need to find people becomes more common, people are associating the name Spokeo with People Search. A great example of this can be seen in a recent article published by the Wall Street Journal back in May of this year.

Proudly and simply stated by its writer:

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.

Although the article went on to mention other companies in the people search market, Spokeo people search received an overwhelming amount of coverage. That says alot coming from America’s best-selling financial newspaper. The article later continues by highlighting the accounts of a recent user:

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.”

If you think about it, what other people search engine would reveal that degree of detail. You better believe there’s a new sheriff in town. We’re picking up stream and if you don’t want to miss this train you better jump on.
