Searching For People? Search Spock

Posted on December 12, 2007 - Filed Under Technology | 2 Comments

Sometimes you’re just looking for information. At those times a general purpose search engine is perfect. But sometimes you’re looking for people and that’s where the “big boys” of search all fall apart. What we need is a completely searchable online Who’s Who for whatever it is that interests us. Luckily, we already have one in Spock. I’ve written about Spock before, and have used it a few dozen times since then. Spock’s not only helped me learn more about…

Google’s Latest Hypocrisy

Posted on November 20, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Technology | Leave a Comment

I was randomly surfing the web while killing some time at the auto dealership today waiting for Rover to get repaired and somehow found my way to The Official Google Blog where I read this (mostly boring) post from Rachel Whetstone, Director of Global Communications and Public Affairs. It included two whoppers, IMO-

At Google we have a bias in favor of people’s right to free expression in everything we do. We are driven by a belief that more information generally means…

The Market Reacts To Google’s Insanity

Posted on November 16, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Webmastering | 5 Comments

Anyone with even a quarter of an eye pointing towards the internet in general or the blogosphere specifically must have noticed that Google seems to have gone insane with the latest Page Rank updates. First there was the specific targeting of specific blogs and websites for reduction and/or penalties in both PageRank and rankings in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). How is it not insane for a search on “John Chow” not to return johnchow.com as the first result? Then…

Dismissing Google PageRank Rumors

Posted on November 2, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, SEO | Leave a Comment

I first came across some rather frightening Google rumors at Google Lady’s blog, yesterday. Then, in my hunt for further verification I came across the original post at The Google Rumor Mill, from a couple of weeks ago. I’m not familiar with the history of either of these sites, but considering the post (identical on both sites) starts with “During a recent meeting with a Google engineer it was revealed to me…” Just like an urban legend the lack of…

Spock’s In Search Of You!

Posted on October 31, 2007 - Filed Under Technology | Leave a Comment

Search engines come and search engines go, but every now and then, something truly innovating shows up on the internet’s horizon. Spock bills itself as “It’s About People” and I can’t think of a more accurate tagline. Instead of being a web page search engine (like Google or Yahoo!) or even a blog search engine (like Technorati), Spock is a people search engine! Wait, don’t go away thinking this is simply the latest “find your lost love” site, because that’s not…

Social Networking Comes To Search

You should really click here to try sproose today. It’s the latest blended social networking site devoted to harnessing the power of the millions of opinionated folx who browse the web. Essentially, Sproose is a search engine. You type in a word or phrase and it returns what it feels is the most relevant of results. But Sproose is really so much more than that.

First off, it’s a search aggregator, drawing the top results from such well known search engines as…
