Wink People Search: 200 million profiles

Wink People Search now searches over two hundred million people profiles! That’s twice as many as we launched with several months ago. Everyone can now search people across numerous social networks including MySpace, LinkedIn, Friendster, Bebo, Live Spaces, Yahoo!360, Xanga, Twitter and more. Also included in the results are Web sources such as Wikipedia and IMDB with more coming all the time.

This is a good time to reiterate Wink’s goals. Wink aims to:

• Be the fastest way to find and connect with people online.
• Provide the largest online people search with hundreds of millions of profiles across social networks, online communities and the Web.
• Enable people to search for celebs, old friends, new friends, business contacts and others by name, location, interests, school, work, groups and more.
• Let people manage their online presence by claiming online places, and keep track of people they know by combining their feeds from various sites.

Thank you to everyone who is using Wink to find people, and claiming and updating your profiles to manage your online presence! About 150,000 people used Wink last month.

Here’s a note we received recently from a user:

Subject: Lost Friend

I’ve been looking for a lost friend since 2002 with no luck until today. I’ve tried all pay sites but none of them gave me a correct address or tel number. Thank you so much

It’s so great to get these! We plan to keep making Wink better and better, and to receive many more stories like this.

Cheers,
Michael Tanne, CEO
