Employees were tasked with creating a project that \u00a0was related to organizing information about people. The idea had to somehow be Spokeo-relevant, but could run the gamut from prototyping new products, to improving existing ones.\u00a0More than\u00a018 teams put their hearts, minds, and sanity on the line to compete without any limitations (or sleep) on what they could create.<\/p>\n<p>From utilizing facial recognition, to reinventing an advanced search, to utilizing Amazon Echo for hands free searches, and even to implementing live chat for our customer service portal (and more!) Spokeo employees from all disciplines, did not disappoint. After an all-employee vote, one champion team was crowned and three were given an additional nod of recognition.
