One of the most frequent things I use it for is to find out who someone is. For example, I learned from your Spock page that you are tagged with "Microsoft" - makes me curious to find out if we have connections in common :) As for the proliferation of social networks.... Yeah there are a lot of them out there. What makes Spock different for me is that it provides one place to learn about the many places one is on the Web. I like that I can go to a person's Spock page and see the agregate of all of thier other on-line activities. It saves me time. And, it gives me a jumping off point to learn more if I need to. Just my two cents. Kathy Jacobs, Spock Evangelist I use Spock for a number of different things. One of the most frequent things I use it for is to find out who someone is.

Still, I will likely accept Spock invitations because you never know what could happen, but I won't be paying much, if any, attention to it. Mark Alec,
