Kathy Jacobs wrote a good overview here: http://www.lockergnome.com/callkathy/2007/12/21/spock-not-the-star-trek-one-the-search-engine-one/ and Search Engine Land also wrote up an informative article: http://searchengineland.com/070919-162922.php If you have any specific questions, you can ask them here, or ask me directly at maia@spock.com Hi Darren,

First of all, it's profile aggregation and management, which can be useful on some levels. What's different with Spock is that anyone can contribute to your profile - adding tags, voting on them, voting on pictures, etc - and both you and others can vote on the most relevant labels. It's basically people search + community SEO + reputation management. And those people who are 'power users' of Spock have more of a say with their votes. I think it has a ton of potential.

Other than a great way to burn inefficiently time from my desk, I can't figure out how it works. Clearly, it does a vertical search on your name through the Google / Yahoo etc. But other than that and add tags, no clues. Also, I agree with Peter Kafka of SAI, it's enough time to keep up to date FB, LinkedIn and its likes. I must say that I’m also completely in the dark.
