Spock - a “people search engine” 0
Spockis the self-proclaimed leader in personal search, helping users find and discover people. See this review via Search 2.0
This makes me wonder whether the future of search engines lies in niche-searching, e.g. Spock for people, Google for keywords, another search engine for searching business websites for products, etc.
This strikes me as a more realistic approach to organizing information on the web than a “one size fits all” search.
That said, I am staring to find software for utilizing the semantic web! I’m excited to see this but have yet to explore it more fully. Will post more when I’ve had a chance to test drive it.
