PeekYou - Peoples Search Engine

"Peek You" explained as a contradiction of People and Seek is a peoples search engine claims to have indexed over 160 million people, mostly in the regions of US and Canada. Peekyou helps in finding the social-networking pages, photos, websites, etc. However one needs to register and create a profile of their own or of their friends or relatives to ensure that they may also be easily found online.



My comments:
Though the company claims to have indexed over 160 million people when i searched for barack obama, George bush, there are many duplicates(58 matches, 1274 matches) coming up in the results. Results were quite unimpressive.

check out for Wink and Spock in this regard which are designed to help you find people.

Amazon To Shut Down Alexa Web Search

Alexa the web search company from Amazon is shutting down its operations. The service is already closed to new customers, and existing users have until January 26, 2009 to move on to something else.


In an email to the developers it says the reason behind closing the Alexa web search is due to its low search. On the Alexa Web Search site itself Amazon mentioned that the service has been "deprecated", which is a fancy word for shut down.


The email:

Dear Alexa Developer,

The Alexa Web Search service will no longer be available to new customers as of November 26, 2008. Use of the service is low, so we are shifting our priorities to other areas where we can provide better service to AWS customers.

The Alexa Web Search service will continue to be operational for 60 days until January 26, 2009. The ProgrammableWeb website offers a list of web services that provide web search.

We apologize for the inconvenience to you.

Thank you,

The Alexa Web Services Team
