A Google search for an individual may return tens of thousands of links in milliseconds. But it won't display a concise summary of all the information available on the Web about that person

That's where Bhatti's company, Spock, comes in. His people search engine, scheduled for launch in July, is one of the dozens of niche endeavors trying to capture some of the more than $60 billion projected to be spent on search marketing over the next four years

hehe, I was just going to check my Spock profile I created when:

"Down For Maintenance

Dear Loyal and Faithful Spock users — We are taking Spock offline for a little bit. We need to make some changes so that we can create an even better search experience for you. We promise that Spock will be even more awesome soon. If our downtime makes you sad, please e-mail Jay (jay[put at-character here]spock.com) and he will help you through this difficult period.

Thanks

The Spock Team"
