In the last month or so we’ve been busy improving Spoke in ways you may not have noticed. A lot of the improvements we make here at Spoke have to do with behind-the-scenes things that are making the service better in ways that might be hard to notice at first.
Our mission is to be the best way for business people to connect with other business people. To that end, over the last month we have been able to give our members access to 20% more business people. This means 20% more people in your search results and 20% more people you can connect with. Run some searches and let us know what you think.
Being a large online business network means we have a lot of web traffic – in fact, over a million people visit Spoke’s site every week. A lot of these visitors are people who have found their public Spoke Profile while searching for themselves. Spoke Profiles are built from information that’s publicly available on the web or that is provided by our members. We believe people should be in control of their information online, so we want to make it as simple as possible for people to see what information is out there and correct it if it is wrong. We encourage visitors to claim and update their public Spoke Profile. In the last month we’ve made this process smarter so it is easier for visitors to claim and update the right Profile.
These are just the latest and far from the last improvements you’ll be seeing from us. Including some really big ones in the near future. Stay tuned…

ReplyDeleteDoes Spoke also claim the "right" to include profiles of people who did NOT opt-in? And does Spoke assume the autocratic position that in order for a person to "control" their online info, that he or she must first log into Spoke and CLAIM their profile (thereby giving Spoke personal data) in order to DELETE their profile?
Just wondering... as I have sent 3 requests to delete my account to your support@spoke.com (which I never knowingly gave permission to Spoke to have a profile on me), and twice got an invitation from your support team to "CLAIM" my profile as their response. And the 3rd Request got NO response.
There's a word for what Spoke is doing. Want me to spell it out?
I would like my name removed from your Web site. I don't know how it got on there, but the information is wrong. I have been trying to reach someone at the company, to no avail.
ReplyDelete2.Look, I found myself on spoke, listed with a company I have never worked for, but I know those guys and they are pissed too. THERE IS NO WAY TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT! I don’t even remember signing up for one! You are the scummiest thing ever.
