It claims to be the *leader* in personal search – Imagine the “Google” of people search. Users can search Spock via three types of information – name, email or tags. Experts say that nearly 30% of Google searches are people searches. If this is true I’m surprised no one has created a good “personal search” engine until now. Spock utilizes tags which make it extremely simple to organize and find information. Our society might just be ego-centric enough to make this a success – how many of us have Googled ourselves? Oh and by the way, Spock allows users to add tags, name variations and a photo. Go to Spock and “claim” your profile before someone else does. Spock uses a technology that automatically generates tags for an individual. This differentiates Spock from the other People Search web sites such as [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/)and [Wink](http://wink.com/). Think of Spock’s potential uses – get the dirt on a new love interest, impromptu employer background check, or find out “where they are now”. It seems like Spock has the potential to be yet another Internet time sucker. By the way, Spock is thrilled with [Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=16427261). They are utilizing S3 for storing their photos. They write, *“We’re pretty psyched with Amazon Web Services, and we’re looking forward to leveraging other neat services they roll out in the future.”* It’s reassuring to know that other companies are having success with this technology just as we are with[Wonderfile](http://www.technologytranslated.com/2007/09/06/the-search-for-spocks-friend/www.wonderfile.net).
