Spock, Rapleaf and People Search Engines of Web 2.0
Certified reputation? I'll play along.
I'm enjoying my new discovering of services like http://rapleaf.com and http://spock.com - two services. They allow you to look up someone's email address and/or name and find out where they are in the social networking world.
It's a pretty smart idea - if it's not used for evil. People are congregating at Myspace, LinkedIn and 1000 other places - http://digfoot.com has a list - and it makes sense that SOMEBODY would link they together. Okay, several places have.
Will it be a beacon for spammers? Absolutely. Will people's private blather be saved for eternity? Definitely! But Google did that already a few years back when they snapped up Usenet Newsgroups (which were the Myspace of the day) so we should all be used to it.
But a new generation is newly surprised I suppose.
As for me, I just play along.
