Spokeo is a people search engine that discovers a user's friends' social network accounts by performing deep Web searches across over 40 such networks, including Bebo, Blogger, DailyMotion, DeviantArt, Digg, Facebook, Flickr, Fotolog, Friendster, HI5, ImageStation, Imeem, Last.fm, LiveJournal, MySpace, Netlog, Photobucket, Vox, Webshots, Windows Live Spaces, Wretch, Xanga, Yahoo Video, and YouTube.
Spokeo was founded in 2006 by Stanford University graduates. It is implemented in Ruby on Rails.
Spokeo is not a social network, and it does not support any social network features. It syndicates only publicly available information, although the information that it aggregates may not be commonly known to be public.
