You probably already know that I'm a big fan of Spock based
on my numerous blogs about it here on SittingXlegged. In case you missed those,
you can catch up here.
I just listened to Stan Relihan'spodcast with Jay Bhatti, co-founder of Spock. Clearly
Jay is a smart guy who very clearly espouses some of the benefits of Spock.
Here are just a few:
Spock plans to include every living person and every person
ever living.
Spock is not a social network site. It is a people search
engine.
Spock users do not have to do much to get a lot of value.
Spock is quickly becoming the #1 place on the Internet to
find great images of people.
Go listen to the podcast.
It's about 19 minutes long.

I always forget to use Spock for images - but it's true - there ARE great images of people on there.
I'm hooked on the service myself. I don't look up famous people as much but I DO like to look up old friends, old classmates, and I love the ability to add to their profiles.
And the democratic voting process is key on Spock. If something is a good tag/picture/etc, it gets voted up. If not, it gets voted down. It's a self-regulating system, which is a stroke of genius on their part.
