Way back in May and June '07, I wrote here
about Spock, a beta people search application.
Since then the good folks at Spock have
been hard at work expanding the capabilities of the site. If you want to find
out about someone, just search for them on Spock
and you'll find all sorts of useful information about the over 1 billion people there. Some records are
quite extensive because Spock allows you to
manage your information. You can find links to other sites such as LinkedIn, MySpace,
Facebook, Digg,
and del.icio.us. Additional results from the
Web are now powered by Google. And of
course, for all those sourcers out there, you can search for people too. A
quick search for "san diego" recruiter brought up about 300
results. Check it out and let me know what you think.
I went to try it and searched a few people who are present on the internet one of them a CEO of a large Australian company and received no results

Hey Simone,
That's interesting. Of course they can't have everyone since they only have 1 Billion people. I ran the following searches:
Australia: 2,000,000 hits, Nicole Kidman was first! Sydney Australia: 203,600 hits, Justine Larbalestier was first Simone du toit: 3 hits, none of them are you
Thanks,
Simon
