Leading people search provider Intellius gets a boost with the acquisition of Spock, a renowned people search engine. The fusion of Intellius and Spock’s capabilities is expected to create the most robust information destination for information on people.

In a world characterized by increasing dependence on wireless technology, Bellevue, Washington-based Intellius makes this crucial acquisition as it bolsters capacity of its people search service. Intellius’ People Search service replaces the obsolete online and offline white pages as present-day consumer America leans more towards wireless telephones. The National Health Survey Interview has indicated that more than one in every five American homes has only wireless telephones for communication. As the pie grows bigger for wireless technology, more people depend on recent technologies like People Search to reconnect and keep in touch.

People Search is remarkable for its user-friendliness and reliability of results. When you type in a name on the site’s interface, you get a report of everybody with that name, their ages, known relatives, previous addresses - for free. Once you match an entry from among those listed with the person you are trying to locate, you have the option to choose from among three services to give you more detailed data on that person: the People Search Report, 24-Hour Pass, and Background Report. These options vary according to fee and scope of data generated.

The People Search Report, which will cost you $1.95, supplies a report on all publicly available data for one person. The 24-Hour Pass, worth $19.95, gives you the ability to locate and obtain detailed information on an unlimited number of people for one day. The Background Report costs $49.95 and features basic information available in people search with additional details including aliases, a background check, wealth status, lawsuits and other data.

Intellius was cofounded in 2003 by Stevie Award winner and former InfoSpace CEO Naveen Jain.
