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.
