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.

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 😉

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

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 😉
