I came across your blog and wanted to help clarify some questions you may have about Spock.com.

1) the goal of Spock is to ultimately help people search for other people. Our founders created Spock out of frustration with using Google for people searches, so they created a site where you can search by name, e-mail, or tag (where you went to school, your occupation, etc). Spock also provides links to other places you’re on the Web, news feeds, etc.

2) The information on Spock is all publicly available information. We do use alot of the Social Networking sites because they’re ultimately a great place to find relevant information.

3) Spock lets you claim your search result and edit out irrelevant information, and contribute more relevant information.

4) Spock respects people’s right to privacy which is why we give people the option to remove their search result if they wish (even though it’s a great platform to promote yourself)

5) It’s important to be aware of where you are on the Web and your overall online identity. It’s also important to look into the services you register with, as sites such as Myspace, Friendster, etc are sites where even though your entire profile may be private, their is still a public listing.

Please feel free to e-mail me Patrick@corp.spock.com if you have any questions.
