'... How can you find them? ...'

Google works ok if they are connected (blog, website, ework) not so well if they are not. But not as well as spock claims it will be ~ http://www.spock.com/about

Yes, that will be good. It's definitely an area that needs improvement. There are some key differences between the "people search" approach and mine, though.

1. The people search approach is O(n) amount of work for the person searching. Mine is O(1).

2. The people search gives immediate results. Mine occur sporadically. For some purposes (e.g. planning a reunion), mine is clearly inferior in this regard, but I kind of like it. Delayed rewards can be very refreshing.
