Spock Podcast

posted by 
Simon Meth (219)

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's podcast 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.

When you're done, see if you're already on Spock.

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.
