I see your numbers for Facebook's people searches, but I don't see any numbers to compare it to? So how do you know that Facebook is the "most used People Search Engine on the web"? How does it compare to searches on Google or other major search engines for names? And how is "most used" being defined? By the number of searches, or the number of searchers? Best, Jay Justin, I don’t understand where your title is coming from. I see your numbers for Facebook’s people searches, but I don’t see any numbers to compare it to? So how do you know that Facebook is the “most used People Search Engine on the web”?

How does it compare to searches on Google or other major search engines for names?

And how is “most used” being defined? By the number of searches, or the number of searchers?

Best,
Jay

The recent development of people search engine is confusing more than one internet user. Actually, nobody really knows where they (i.e. <a href="http://www.ziki.com" rel="nofollow">Ziki.com</a>, <a href="http://www.spock.com" rel="nofollow">Spock.com</a>, etc.) want to go. Fore me there a two developments possible: -) Webpages like Ziki.com or soon Spock.com will make their user's lifes easier by helping them organizing their personal contents and feeds. This will allow them to become some sort of content hubs first and <strong>stand-alone social network pages</strong> in a further evolution. -) Their attempt to link users amongst them on their websites will fail and their services will be used by their members to create an online ID card (or resume) in order to become more visible on the web, for instance, to appear amongst the search results for professional head hunters. In this case, Ziki and Spock.com will have to position themselves as <strong>pure people search engines</strong> for a more business driven community. Rupert Interesting article, Justin!
