The Individual: The Fount of Crime
May 3, 2009
Most people don’t think of bad guys as the fellow who lives in the next flat or the nice girl with the lawn service. Those in bank security, law enforcement, and insurance investigators know that the individual is the key to certain interesting activities. The numerous comments about Spock’s sale to the Naveen Jane, the founder of Intelius and InfoSpace, were quite tame. You can read “Intelius Buys Spock, the People Search Engine” here. My thoughts on this deal included these musings:
- Mr. Jane is a canny lad. I think he senses that the value of a people-centric service will rise. If this takes place, Mr. Jane could make a tidy profit
- In the near term, the market demand for people information is likely to rise
- People data can be sliced and diced, and I think that Mr. Jane will make an attempt to generate some revenue from this property.
And crime? Well, I don’t have much to say about that.
