Hello and welcome, to my blog.

My name is Josiah Cole, I'm a professional web designer, developer and self-proclaimed Internet guru. I own & operate COLEwebdev with my wife Desiree and am the founder of a social Internet startup; OtherWeather.com  My most popular article on this blog to date is 19 Things NOT To Do When Building a Website, a post that made it's way to the front page of Digg and Reddit a millisecond before it crashed the entire server.

Spock is a Search Engine Made of People!

Search Engines, Social, Web 2.0 — Josiah on August 8, 2007 at 8:14 am
The social search scene is great and all, and I’m sure there’s a market there but I’m also sure there’s lots of people who DON’T want to show up in Spock’s results.

People search engine Spock launches

spock10.jpgSpock, the Redwood City, Calif. search engine for people, launches tomorrow after a year of suspense.

It has remained secretive for months (see our original coverage), testing its engine, adding some 100,000 profiles and inserting other social networking features. In those past stories, we showed examples of how profile pages of people contain all sorts of information about people.

We asked chief exec Jaideep Singh how he plans to make money. He said the company will serve ads next to searches just like Google does, though it will wait a few months before doing so.
