Andy,

I was just going to leave you a comment here, but couldn’t find your record on Spock! the one that’s on your picture above :) Did you vote it all down on your profile so it’s not listed now with these tags, or changed something a lot there? it’s a magic, really, how could it happen…

in any case I think yes, it’s useful to watch Spock in 2008, as recommended also by WIRED btw :)
“Top 10 Startups Worth Watching in 2008″
http://www.wired.com/techbiz/startups/news/2007/12/YE_10_startups

but I think it was clear already in the 2007, the unique value proposition of Spock- to be a Global and Open first People Search Engine 2.0- who could do it better? ;)

I am counted on and after having dedicated some time to my Spock profile, now get a lot of satisfaction of that all my Web information is refered somewhere in one place. finally :) + I am very happy that tons of my friends and social friends from business communities where I have the most social friends from, have followed me on Spock and stay quite happy with what did they get there.

I am very optimistic about the 2008 for Spock. the 2008 is gonna be the year of Open Social Web concept widely adopted by the most important Social Networks- so I think Spock is in the right place (between Web and Web 2.0) and in the right moment (when there were not yet Google 2.0 :lol: and when the most people are tired of hundred of their personal pages and social networks account to manage daily).

So I believe that the future is in the “Single- Point- of- Contact- (by)Keyword= SPOCK”, as it’s stated in the spelling and mission of Spock.

could you have a question or if you want just to keep in touch (well, about that your profile does not appear- it’s for sure!)- do not hesitate contacting me via the same Spock or where ever.

Kind Regards,
