- Those lovely chaps at Moo have launched their second product – attractive combo post/greetings cards that you radically personalise… I got a few of these a few days ago as part of their beta-testing programme and they’re pretty lovely. I’ll probably post a snap of them on Flickr if you’re in the area…
- Josh Clark talks about the new ‘People Search’ project Spock that’s currently in a closed beta and relates it to ideas about cross-site identifiers… He proposes that Spock might be a good way to correlate IDs for people across a web of data. It’s a fascinating idea with only one area of anxiety for me – people freak out about the privacy implications of stuff like this. I’ll have to think more about this one.
- TechCrunch talks about the Spock people search engine… Still, it comes right back to me that generally people really don’t like the idea of information about themselves being aggregated against their will, and user generated annotation of individuals seems troublingly susceptible to accusations of libel…

Spock is awesomely ill-thought-out. The potential for harmful error and hostile game-playing is enormous.
