But don't you think that kind of invades privacy? I am not too sure. But again I personally, might enjoy using this site cause who doesn't like to peep a little but then again I wouldn't want anybody else prying on me ;-) That’s pretty amazing that you can get a search result on individual people.

For example: If you were searching a neighbor "Dan Smith" or "Gloria Jones" and those people had not accomplished anything noteworthy, there would be no results. Spock isn't like credit bureaus,US Search or Intellius in that it doesn't return private or personal data, it merely culminates already accessible data from across the internet into on easy to use interface. So to answer your question, there is no "invasion of privacy" on individuals, but Spock is a culmination of information avaliable on noteworthy people. That's what makes it so cool. So many times when I'm looking for info on a politician, an actor, actress, musician, programmer, CEO (all people in the public eye), I generally have to search multiple sources for information to do a blog postor an article with factual details. Spock is pulls all those sources together which is a phenomenal resource for researchers, writers and publishers. Plus, it's just fun to surf the tags and look for noteworthy people in categories. For me, I'm a huge Baseball and Punk Rock music fan, and I enjoy reading bios because each one has bits and pieces different from each other. From what I've learned about Spock thus far, they culminate sources and present them accordingly. What I love is the "tags". Say I look up Pete Shelley from the band "The Buzzcocks", a band I know a lot about, I'm so impressed with the relevevancy...... See this link.... http://www.spock.com/q/the-buzzcocks Of course, Pete Shelley comes up first, one of his tags is "LGBT musician" and of course, Pete has always been "open" about his sexualty which is why most of us "old-school" punks love Shelley and the Buzzcocks. Even cooler, the seond result is John Haggerty of the 80's Chicago punk band band Naked Raygun, who were infulenced by the Buzzcocks and Stiff Little Fingers. From there, you can just keep drilling down into a musiicans influences and what influenced them and so on and so on... so, Linking Links, somebody has to have done something that got the into the public eye to get listed and no private data is revealed, only data that has appeared in conventional and internet media. Play with the site, it's fun. I personally try not to waste too much time digging around sites like this but Spock grabs my attention as much as my arcane fascinatin with http://www.findadeath.com I persoanlly think Spock.com would be even cooler if they integrated findadeath.com info (btw, findadeath.com is a site where you can look up how celebrities passed away, and even has pictures of their houses and gravestones. Agan, be careful, you might spend a lot of time on sites like this f you're a curiosity seeker !!! :-) Searches at Spock are not personal searches on any information that sn’t already available on the internet.

I don't know what they could do to make it better because it's one of the best executed top sites I have seen since I've been on the net. The only thing I don't like is that I peand waaaaay too much time on it searching between the tags and I always find something I wasn't aware of. I love this site.
