   I guess the most suit­able appli­ca­tion for this kind of ver­ti­cal search is some way of reputation-management (as pro­vid­ed by myonID), enabling social-recommendation-networks. As for pages like spokeo.com (which I pre­fer) the engine enables you to stay updat­ed about the social-network-activities of peo­ple you know (or you sim­ply know the email-address of) — the main USP seems to be the stalking-aspect of it 😉

   Hi Christoph, exayt­ly my opin­ion. myOn-ID is the more clever way to man­age all your con­tent around in thr web and to use social net­work for recon­m­men­da­tion. By the way myON-ID also offers a search engine for peo­ple as this is your start­ing point for your per­son­al online rec­om­men­da­tion tour. check it out

   don’t get me wrong, what I was­n’t say­ing is, that I do actu­al­ly like the ser­vice of myonid, I sim­ply know that it exist — and to be com­plete­ly hon­est, I don’t even use myonid for cer­tain reasons 😉

   Yes, you have google.
   But what about peo­ple, who can­not han­dle this search engine and don´t know how to surf into mil­lions of very well search engine opti­mized websites.
   Some peo­ple don´t know how to cus­tomize google and when you have luck to find a forum in the first hits, then you can ask how to find, what you are real­ly search­ing for.
   90% the answere is: “Try google search”
   And thats were the cir­cle ist closing.
   Human Search Engines are for peo­ple, that have no idea how to search the internet.
