I was charged a fee for spockeo that was not authorized. I have found no other way to contact them other than phone number 650-988-9007. I have left a message but I have not recieved service in this matter.

Seriously though, Facebook does not count as social search, so they really should be excluded from this poll! Ugh.. so infuriating!

Thank you for the support , Keep voting!!!
Although I'm biased here , I think each of the competitors here is different and has a different concept and functionality.
To be honest I think that in real life the users will chose the site based on their needs and there is a place for all the sites above.
If you want to find/meet new people - Copenda is definitely your first choice

Keep voting for Copenda,

Apparently, Facebook is not a search engine.

Technically, Facebook does NOT count as a social search engine.

In my opinion, Wink is the best out there.

Its nice to come across such award events organized on such a class Web 2.0 platform. Im sure it will support developers even further to make new Web 2.0 appl and get in some new trends. We all look to see developers providing a whole new platform for the users to admire their fav products.

Hi Pete,

Wink is a great product, you're right.
But we believe one thing is "People Search", one other thing is "Social Search", meaning "Collaborative Web Search", "Search 2.0", "Search algorithms empowered by human interaction"..
A good piece about the concept is up on wikipedia:

Cheers,
Xoost

ps. you're doing a good job at Mashable! a great place for connecting with the web 2.0 updates!

I think that Copenda is the most unique social people search - it's give you the real freedom to search your favorites friands.

Xoost is now moving the first steps and of course we are not ready for any Social Search award yet. But we hope we will take part to it next year! For the moment we just wish all the best to the Mashable team for organizing the competition and a good luck to all the participants.

Just a 3 second advertising :)

Hi Pete,
If you really want to meet new people and not looking to find your friends (I suppose you know where your friends are) or specific person , Copenda is your only choice.
So forgive me but I don't agree with you.

Personally, I think Wink is the only one that truly counts as social search - but hey, I guess the people decided. ;)
