I was introduced to Spock a couple of weeks ago but I did not sign up with them because the thought that people could just access Spock and search everything about me is scary.
However, this morning, I decided to sign up to claim all my online social profiles. I envision that Spock would grow to be huge. It's going to be like an online directory.
To test the site out, I decided to search for "Bon Jovi Fan". I have been a Bon Jovi fan for the past fifteen years so I thought that it would be fun to see if there are people with this tag on their profiles as well.
I found a total of nine people, seven of them from USA, one from Australia and one from the United Kingdom. I am not surprised that most of the members are American because this is an Americans site and it's still fairly new. The weird thing is that despite tagging myself "Bon Jovi fan" as well, my profile did not come up in the search.
Check out this widget of "Bon Jovi fan" of all Spock members with this tag, except myself. I should mention that only registered members of Spock will be able to obtain the widget code which you can embed on your social profiles, website or blogs. Did you know that if you sign up with Spock, you can allow Spock to scour the internet for your social profiles by keying in your user ID and password and also claim your email addresses? Don't worry, Spock promises not to store our passwords so our accounts are not compromised.
Right now, Spock supports some of the major web-based email clients like Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, AOL and Gmail and social profiles like Friendster, Hi5, MySpace, LinkedIn, Plaxo. If you are like me with a profile in all of these sites, you can better manage them from one place: SPOCK.
