Spock.com launches
Spock.com went live today. It’s search engine and is designed to help you find people, not just things. So far they have 100+ million people in their database, and are gathering information from MySpace, Linkedin, Wikipedia and a few other locations.
The company is hoping that you’ll help them manage all their information by “claiming” your name and adding data. If you sign up for an account, they will ask you to give them all your email addresses and login information for various sites. Is it a good idea to give a company you’ve never heard of lots of personal information about yourself? Is it a good idea to give a company you’ve never heard of access to your accounts?
I looked up my own name and know that the info they have on file is more than a month old, as I’ve made changes back in early July to the site they scraped it from.
