Spock

I found a really cool people search engine. It’s pretty awesome. Spock.com is a place where you can search for people according to their names, or their tags. For example, when I went onto the main page for the first time, I entered “green eyes,” just to see what would come up as a result. To my pleasant surprise, the results were quick, and it showed me pages and pages of people with green eyes. Duh. First up was Amanda Bynes. I’m not surprised. Heh. She’s a celebrity. However, the search is also for real people. If you join up and sign yourself in, you can add your own tags, and people can search for you. Also, people can add tags themselves of you. It’s an interesting networking system, though not mimicking other sites like myspace and facebook. It’s almost like a neat people google search or something.

Check out the cool widget according to my search. Isn’t it neat? You can put this on the side of your page, and see what comes up according to popularity. You can also do silly searches like, “big nose,” or “pimples.” Haha. Try it and look what happens! This site can be used for all sorts of things. Not only can you search for your favorite authors, actors, actresses, and other celebrities large and small, you can also search ordinary people all around the world. Hey, take a look at all the presidential candidates! The site has so much to offer, it’s crazy. What a great idea. The web certainly becomes more and more innovative over time, doesn’t it?

I’m going to go ahead and have some fun right now, before work. I gotta go in about 15 minutes but I’m going to do several dorky searches just to see what I can come up with. I suggest you do the same. It’s a fun little game to keep yourself busy!
