Intelius Inc, a leading information commerce company, announced its plans to fully incorporate Spock, a people search engine that uses advanced technology that helps simplify and categorize search results, into the company’s network. With the aid of the proprietary semantic technology of Intelius, Spock will bring together billions of records, both online and offline, from social networking profiles, professional and public databases, and other sources to directly categorize and connect people by making comprehensive profiles of individuals. The purchase increases the company’s leadership position in the people search space and advances its endeavors to pioneer the next generation of people search services for people and businesses.

More than one in every five homes in America own only wireless phones, according to the National Health Interview Survey. The online white pages directories are becoming outdated and obsolete as trends continue to see the reduction of landline phones and as the number of people moving in the US increases. This ongoing development has made it difficult to use online white pages directories to aid with people search related queries.

Intelius co-founder and CEO Naveen Jain believes that the combined technology of Spock and his company is the answer to people’s need for a complete and accurate people search solution. It is the best way to help people solve their problems regarding lost friends, business associates, and relatives. Intellius’ acquisition of Spock provides people the perfect way to carry out an online people search.

To date, people search has become one of the foremost reasons for Internet use. Together, Intellius and Spock have nearly 40 million unique visitors every month. The team up will allow consumers access to information gathered from more than an estimated 250 million data points. Likewise, it will enable people to search and situate almost anyone within the context of what they know, making the team the most advanced and comprehensive people search engine on the Internet.
