Spock takes the idea to a whole new level in that they appear to be crawling the web in order to create a profile for individuals.

Yeah… Spock takes the idea to a whole new level in that they appear to be crawling the web in order to create a profile for individuals. I haven’t signed up to “claim” my account because I never liked the idea behind the site.

If I understand correctly spock collects their info from crawling the web and community submissions. I’m not sure how they prevent someone from claiming someone else’s identity or insure the information is accurate. http://www.spock.com/do/profiles/index/Dustin-Luther%E2%80%94-Rdvla1Nj Isn’t this what spock.com does.

Social Networks that are successful are that way because people want to be there, not because their name and info was purchased. Thanks for bringing this up. We will be sure to keep our eyes out for its release and will cover it on realestateyouropinion.com Social Networking and niche social networking must have users in order to function, but where is the “lightbulb” moment where you discover a place that is full of people like you.

Maybe they will use the information for an easy one-click registration sent via a personal email invitation - verses just starting with the site pre-populated. If the site that is behind this is a big brand that you already know and trust, it could get legs? I agree with everyone here. But like Vicki, I probably wouldn't notice. However, I am just not sure I have the time for yet another social network.

To start off a new "social" network having violated that trust from the jump seems a bit counter-productive. Part of a social network, in my opinion, is the expectation of a certain level of trust.
