From great growth to new partnerships and powerful reunions, it’s been quite the year for Spokeo! Let’s take a trip down memory lane and note some of the big moments on the Spokeo blog….<\/p>\n

We kick off the year by\u00a0partnering with cyber dating expert, Julie Spira<\/a>, to help you stay safe as you searched for your Valentine…<\/p>\n

\"Jan_SpokeoRecap\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also announced the FIRST winner of the Spokeo Connections Scholarship<\/a>, Ashley Dillon!<\/p>\n

\"Jan2_SpokeoRecap\"<\/p>\n

In February, we brought you an info-graphic on dating safety research<\/a>\u00a0and new updates to Spokeo’s Reverse Address Search<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"SpokeoValentinesDay-1-23-14-web\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"FebRecap_RA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

March’s posts announced Business Search on Spokeo<\/a><\/p>\n

\"MarchRecap_BizSearch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and a very cool Mobile Migration Map<\/a> visualizing city transplants according to their cell numbers.<\/p>\n

\"Kalispel_mm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In April, we warmed your heart with the winners of the 2014 Spokeo Search Angel Awards<\/a>\u00a0and in May, we shared a video about them<\/a> that seriously made you smile!<\/p>\n

\"2014AngelWinners\"<\/p>\n

June served as a reminder to get your application in for the 2nd iteration of the Spokeo Connections Scholarship<\/a>\u00a0and \u00a0July was big for those who like perusing Spokeo on their phones. We launched Spokeo 8.0<\/a> which encompassed responsive design.<\/p>\n

\"JulyRecap_Spokeo8.0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In August you got to meet the Spokeo interns<\/a>, Kunal<\/a>, Kyle<\/a>, Irene<\/a>, Lea<\/a>, and Ashwin<\/a> one at a time!<\/p>\n

\"Interns\"<\/p>\n

In September, Latesha shared a\u00a0story<\/a> about finding her family in ONE night after 20 years of wondering. We also announced winner #2 of the Connections Scholarship<\/a> AND launched a page\u00a0listing\u00a0fifty scholarships<\/a> from other organizations to help the starving students out.<\/p>\n

\"family\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fall activities picked up at Spokeo with a\u00a0job fair with Innovate Pasadena and OpenX<\/a> and a visit from top Ruby contributor Aaron Patterson<\/a> in October.<\/p>\n

\"AaronPatterson_Visit\"<\/a><\/p>\n

November kicked off the celebration of our growth with the #22 spot on the LA Business Journal’s list of fastest growing private companies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"LABJCover_Spokeo\"<\/p>\n

And December concluded with a HUGE official announcement of our growth<\/a> and some happy, holiday giving<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Spokeo_BoysGirlsClub\"<\/p>\n

What a year! We’re already planning a lot for 2015. From a huge upgrade in Spokeo 9.0, to a brand new product and more. Stay tuned and happy 2015!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
