The Power Of Search Engines
Just how powerful are the major search engines? How about the rest of the spiders and crawlers?

We certainly do have an idea about how powerful Google, Yahoo and MSN are. Most of our daily activities not only include them but they play the key role to make every transaction happen. We have them as a guide, an ally, a channel, and a spy. Yes, a spy!

The American company SPOCK has recently launched a new search engine: SPOCK (public beta) which trails the names of the world's 6 billion inhabitants. Amazing, isn't it!

But there should be a warning right there. According to Jay Bhatti, founder of Spock.com, the concept behind the search engine is to create a people search engine to help its users finding and discovering literally everybody on the web.

Other search engines like Google, Yahoo and Ask have provided an identical service but Spock wanted to do more by delivering specific results to the search queries.

How does Spock.com work?

When you are looking for a particular person, you just enter the full name and the results will come up in the form of profiles. This information is found online from social networking sites like MySpace.

Even if the concept is very interesting, it can be pretty risky. This triggers a number of issues such as privacy. So if you don't want everybody to know you are gay or muslim, be careful with the information you put on social networking sites!

Try these out!
