What can be better than to be able to search people by name or by a "tag" consisting of a personal piece of information (e.g.Brown hair,likes Quiznos,etc).These tags can be created by the person or by other Spock members. If you are a member you can add relevant tags to people that will help others searches be more relevant.
You can voice an opinion about a person by voting for or against a tag(this includes pictures as well). Although this is not a social network they do have some capabilities such as messaging. Within a search result are links to a person's other locations on the web (e.g. homepage, MySpace, Wikipedia, blog, etc.)
A search that I completed was for my favorite presidential Candidate. To check out the site I searched for "arkansas for president". Well, guess what result came back. Yes, if you are any kind of Huckabee fan you would know that Mike Huckabee should be the answer.
Well, it did come back with Mike Huckabee. The tag "Arkansan For President" was associated with him along with several other tags. However, I did not see a tag that indicated that Huckabee was an Baptist Preacher . Therefore, I added this tag to his name. Therefore, later searches will pick up on that tag.
Pretty cool!
Here is my search results and later you will see a video about Spock
