I am not Spock
By Marc Perton
The much-ballyhooed people-centric search engine Spock just launched, and I’ve checked it out in the obvious way: with an ego-search. And, man, am I disappointed. While I could live with being in 5th or 6th place, a search for perton came up blank! Well, not blank blank. But I wasn’t there, which in ego-surfing terms is about the same thing. Victor grabbed the top two spots, and some of the others were filled out with dudes from the village. So, as far as I’m concerned, Spock is ready for the Vulcan death grip. Though I do have to give them kudos for including Uncle Marvin!

It’s a pity you didn’t link the search results. Because it depends on which Google you use. In the Dutch Google, I am number one, after the standard Google maps notification, that is:
