ITGumbo: spicing IT up

You've probably already heard some of the internet buzz around spock.com, a new search engine positioning itself as the volksgoogle, or google of people. Well, if positioning statements were horses then Spock would ride. Unfortunately, the internet has confirmed that the product leaves much to be desired. High profile problems abound including a mad-libs ploy to tag high schoolers as pedophiles and prostitutes and rampant tag spamming of famous entries. If like me you're not too famous, however, you'll probably find that Spock has merely indexed your social networking sites to come up with light info such as "single and Taurus" (only half of which is true). Google remains infinitely more effective at finding this page.

Today the Mumbo Gumbo characters tackle Spock for your amusement.
