Wink People Search Doubles Searchable Profiles to 500 Million in One Year
World’s Largest People Search Engine on Track to Exceed One Billion People Worldwide
Today Wink People Search, the world’s largest people search engine, announced that we have doubled the number of searchable online profiles from this time last year, now reaching an unprecedented 500 million people worldwide. We expects to exceed more than one billion profiles within the next 12 months.
The exponential rise in the number of personal profiles online is a testament to the rapid growth of the social Web – from the most populous cities to the remote corners of the world. However, with this growth comes the overwhelming volume of information that makes it more complicated and time consuming to find people across millions of profiles scattered throughout different online communities. Our people search technology leverages advanced search criteria to make it fast and easy to find and stay connected with people around the world.
Wink People Search enables people across the world to search for friends or business contacts based on name, location, interests, tags, school, work, and other profile information. Wink also provides users with tools to manage their online presence and control what is displayed about them on the Web.
In addition to being the largest people search engine, Wink is also the most flexible. Wink’s experienced team of search engineers from Yahoo!, Inktomi, Excite, and Google have developed proprietary algorithms and indexing techniques to capture the full text and structure of profiles to make them quickly and easily searchable. Whether a user wants to find an old friend, classmate, or colleague; locate fans of the hometown football team; or seek out people who share hobbies and interests, Wink searches hundreds of millions of profiles from across the Internet to help anyone learn about and connect with others.
To power the Wink People Search results and find people online, we cooperate with the world’s largest social networks, including MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Friendster, Bebo, Live Spaces, Yahoo!360, Xanga, and Twitter, and also integrate other unique sources. Wink continues to add new profile sources at an increasing rate, with the goal to include every place people show up on the Web, covering billions of records across the world.
Thank you for your support. We hope you find the people you are looking for.
Cheers,
The Wink Team
