New Social Business Network - Spock

December 19, 2007

For the past week I have been getting a lot of requests for me to join Spock.

 I finally signed up to check it out.  See me here.

The things I like about it are:

  • Love how they build pages that relate to you.  If you sign up and most of the pages they list related to you are really about you, you are probably doing a good job of personal branding.
  • Love the ease of adding tags and other elements.

Things I do not like

  • I tried many times to upload an image and it always failed.  I finally added an image url link and it worked.
  • Tried to upload my linked in list several times, and it always failed to finish the process and sent me to an error page.  I finally did a few connections one at a time.

I think this tool has some potential and is interesting.  If you like to get into these things early and do not mind the confusion and bugs, you may want to sign up.  This can easily become the best central place to manage your personal brand.

    Interesting Ron. I’ve seen this before, but never signed up. If you say it’s good, I’ll give it a shot. My profile is at http://www.spock.com/The-Phil-Gerbyshak-NBdZ51NIu

    One thing I don’t like: No easy to remember URL. Who the heck can remember a profile URL like this? How about the ability to make a “friendly” URL. Not like they are squatting on my (your) name.

    Otherwise, let’s see what happens with this.

    Thanks Phil.

    I think it has some nice features and some annoying things. Stop back and let me know what you like/don’t like about it.

Got something to say?
