		<description><![CDATA[Dave Bisset's the winner -- and how a search for a "Mil Arcega" turned out.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230; wow, its late &#8212; but better late than never.</p>
<p>The winner of the Spock.com beta invite was <a href="http://www.davebisset.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.davebisset.com');" target="_blank">David Bisset of DavidBisset.com</a>.  Congratulations, man!</p>
<p>Spock.com, for those still paying attention, is a search engine focused on finding people.  I still plan to write my own opinions about it, but suffice it to say, its kind of interesting to claim your own name.</p>
<p>Well, actually, I did run another small test, just for the hell of it.</p>
<p>You may have heard that Vator.TV launched the other day?  Its a new media concern that allows companies to post video clips of their elevator pitches in hopes of securing VC funding.  Webware.com, a CNet production that reviews web applications and web2.0 companies, <a href="http://www.webware.com/8300-1_109-2.html?search=vator" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.webware.com');" target="_blank">did a small review on Vator.TV</a> &#8212; but also featured a clip from Vator.TV as an example.</p>
<p>As I was watching the clip, I thought &#8212; &#8220;Man, this guy [who's doing the pitch] has a great voice.  No wonder he&#8217;s the chief of communications.  I wonder if he&#8217;s ever done any professional work before &#8230; ? &#8221; So, of course I powered up Google to find out a little more about this dude, named Mil Arcega.</p>
<p>After all &#8212; <a href="http://www.google.ca/search?q=mil+arcega&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.google.ca');" target="_blank">how many &#8220;Mil Arcega&#8217;s&#8221; could there be</a>?</p>
<p>Probably not as many as &#8220;<a href="http://www.google.ca/search?q=Tony+Hung&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.google.ca');" target="_blank">Tony Hung</a>&#8221; (almost 2 million entries), right?</p>
<p>Anyway, it turns out that Mr. Arcega was a <a href="http://milarcega.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/milarcega.com');">former reporter and anchor for a local Washington news station, and affiliate of NBC</a>.  That, and apparently <a href="http://www.meiwahrestaurant.com/images/photo_gallery/pages/la_mil_arcega.htm" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.meiwahrestaurant.com');" target="_blank">he likes Chinese food</a>.  That&#8217;s what I was able to figure out from a quick Google search.  Also, by actually going to the <a href="http://vator.tv/pitch/show/smatchute" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/vator.tv');" target="_blank">Vator website</a>, there are a few other tidbits, like the fact that he was the &#8220;Business Correspondent for the English Language Services at Voice of America.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, you might wonder &#8230; how did Spock.com fare?</p>
<p>Well, it showed up a Mil Arcega&#8217;s MySpace page.  <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendID=71382809" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/profile.myspace.com');" target="_blank">This one</a>.  That&#8217;s it.  And to be honest, I hope that&#8217;s not *really* Mil Arcega, Chief of Communications, and award-winning reporter &#8230; because he doesn&#8217;t really look like someone you&#8217;d give VC funding to.  Maybe a couple bucks for a coffee, but that&#8217;s it.</p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re interested in a Spock invitation of your own</strong>, I might be able to hornswaggle a few extra invites in the future.  <strong>Leave your name and comment below,</strong> and considered yourself pre-entered into a future Spock.com contest!</p>
