Searches on People

The cool thing about working with start-ups in the Valley is that you very often get to play with stuff early, particularly if they're a client. Did I mention that Spock is incredibly addictive? So I'm still playing around with searches, tagging and seeing the usefulness of user contributions over time.

A few more fun widgets below of searches I did recently:

Blogger

Blues Musician

American CEOs (the ones I would actually expect)

And there were also a number of fun searches I did where I learned a lot in a matter of minutes, something that would have taken me twice as long in a more traditional horizontal search engine, or perhaps not found the information or people at all, such as royal family, tennis players, worldwide billionaires, female authors, and so on.

For my venture capitalist search, I was not surprised to find the usual suspect of players on the first page of results, like Vinod Khosla, John Doerr, Michael Moritz, Steve Jurvetson, Heidi Roizen, Josh Kopelman, Fred Wilson, Tom Perkins and Joi Ito.
