With more than 200 million people signed up for social networks, how can you quickly find your best buddy from second grade, that guy you dated in high school, or your co-worker from three jobs ago? The people search engine Wink.com sorts through all of these profiles so you can easily find and connect online with long lost friends.
People search engine Wink, the less bubbly but more filling competitor to Spock, is adding an interesting antilibel feature. Now, if you search for yourself on Wink and find a result you don't like, you can ask Wink to ignore it, and when other people search for you they won't see that result.
Wink, the people search engine, has released a set of advanced profile controls for users to take advantage of, regarding search results pertaining to them.
The main changes with this latest version of Wink are the controls for content on your search "profile" and choose how they would like to be contacted by friends who find them. Additionally theres the option for contacting friends you find online, and editing your own profile.
"Wink was the exception in this group. It's very quick at what it does, and very good at providing just a few, targeted results. With an easy-to-remember URL, it's a good starting place. If you want to add just one people-searching site to your repertoire, on top of whatever general-purpose search engine you already use, Wink would be the one that I'd start with."
As the need to find people becomes more common, people are associating the name Wink with People Search. PC Magazine just listed Wink as one of its Top 100 Undiscovered Web Sites.
