“It plans to make money from advertising, but hasn’t started yet.” And when that fails, they will simply move into “email marketing” because they will have collected millions of VALID and verified email addresses.

Go away, Spokeo. I don’t want your services. As soon as I got spammed by them listing my account names, I looked for a way to opt out of their “service” – there seems to be none. I changed my privacy settings on all of the sites. Yay Spokeo! Promote ’social networking’ by spamming people! Not all of us want to be “aggregated” you know.

I checked the site and was unable to find Facebook aggregation anywhere. I think you mistook it for Facebox.

An aggregator for social networks is a great idea. Having friends in different networks scattered across multiple sites is really a pain, and being forced to use MySpace’s UI is equally painful.

I wonder if facebook could benefit from pulling off of myspace. Those are the big two, and this would solve my problem.

[...] Spokeo, again has picked up some more nice press. That now is two high profiled tech sites in the past 24 hours? Very nice, and I’m sure glad I was ahead of the pack on this site. Some people don’t like it, but I still stand by my original post which was back on 11/18. [...]

Thanks, Matt, for your mention. This is actually our first Web project after college, so we know that we still have a lot to learn. Your critique is very helpful and much appreciated.
