http://www.findpeopleonplus.com - So far we've indexed 114,444 Google+ profiles. We've added faceted navigation and search functionality so far.
Any feedback, thoughts would be awesome.
Thanks,
- osipov 15y agothat's cool! what do you use for your database?
- taxonomyman 15y agoThx! We're using a little bit of everything! From MySQL, to hashes to our own home brew inverted index code. We're upping the index numbers and adding a ton of cool things on Monday.
- AndyNemmity 15y agoAre you crawling them? if so, what package are you using to do it?
- taxonomyman 15y agoYes, crawling. Home brew. Stuff out there is either too complex, or too simple. To be fair, we like to build on our own - probably not a good thing sometimes..
- AndyNemmity 15y agoWhat language at least? Just curious, I do crawling myself and I'm always fascinated at the design decisions others choose.
- taxonomyman 15y agoCURL with PHP mostly on this project.. How about yourself?
- aonic 15y agoTell us about your crawler :)
- staunch 15y agoIt's cool. I'd recommend adding something to the page clearly disclosing that this is a not affiliated with Google.
- taxonomyman 15y agoGreat point. It's there at the bottom, but we'll make it more visable..
- benjiweber 15y agoWhat does the rank indicate?
- taxonomyman 15y agoAh... good question.. Rank is based on followers. We were naive at thinking we'd index all G+ profiles so we added rank in. But, it's only a relative rank in relation to our data set. We do have Mark Zuckerberg and his rank is still tops in on index. We'll probably remove it or make it more clear.

- taxonomyman 15y agoNice Hack!
- atnnn 15y agoI love the idea and the implementation, I've been looking for something like this. If you could filter by language it would be a lot more useful. Is that possible?
- taxonomyman 15y agoHey there - great suggestion. We'll be adding a batch of features Mondayish...
- qwerty123456 15y agois there a link in which it takes u to the page where u create an account on google+ NOT google profile
- mike-cardwell 15y agoNot overly impressed with the way you've mangled my about info in comparison to the original page: http://www.findpeopleonplus.com/profiles/105993647972963934118 http://www.findpeopleonplus.com/profiles/1059936479729639341... Vs: https://plus.google.com/105993647972963934118/about https://plus.google.com/105993647972963934118/about EDIT: Also, you've specified that I have 0 followers and am following nobody. That is untrue. I just elected to not share that information.
- taxonomyman 15y agoGood catch. We'll add this note to the list of improvments.

- qwerty123456 15y agocan anyone invite me?
- optimus 15y agoHow are you classifying employment? Do you just use a predefined list of occupations and search the users "Occupation" field for items in that list?
