People Search 2.0

Welcome to people search 2.0. What is people search exactly? Spock.com logo Well according to Wink.com and Spock.com, people search is the third most important search behind web and product search. Ok so what is it? People search specific sites search the public profiles on MySpace, Bebo, Friendster, LinkedIn, Live Spaces, and other sources indexing member bios. Wink.com logo
So of course I searched myself and to my surprise was listed on both sites:

Brad on Spock.com
Brad on Wink.com

People search is going to take some time to catch on to mainstream surfers. Spock.com raised $7 million in VC funds before even launching their site, so as you can tell investors see a huge market for people search. Will it catch on? Hard to say this early in the game, but one thing is for sure: Brad likes it!
