Patch.com tells us that four time Olympian, and Hillsborough, NJ resident, Joetta Clark Diggs, is being inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

The daughter of famed Patterson, New Jersey high school principal Joe Clark (memorably dramatized in the film Lean on Me), Joetta shares her father’s passion for inspiring youth, and motivating people of all ages to realize their fullest potentials. She spreads her message of positivity and good health through her own Joetta Clark Diggs Sports Foundation, as well as her many appearances as a highly sought after public speaker.

PeekYou Education Series: Educating Users & Empowering Consumers

Over the next few months, PeekYou will be rolling out a series of blog posts known as the “PeekYou Education Series.” Our goal with these posts is to give our users the ability to understand how search engines like PeekYou find public information online and to raise the general level of awareness that users should have when it comes to the information that we share and consume everyday. We feel that many times our users and other individuals across the web do not necessarily understand how keeping their privacy settings open, or sending out a tweet to the public web, can be picked up by various sources across the web. All of us here at PeekYou feel its important that users get as much education and information as possible about how all of these various components of the web work, allowing them to make a better, more educated decision when it comes to sharing information online and posting information to the public web.

This series was sparked by the comments and feedback from users that we receive everyday, mostly from users who are upset or shocked to find so much information about themselves in one location. While we think it is not a bad thing at all to be public and to share your information with others freely, we want to ensure (through these posts) that consumers and users have the tools and knowledge to navigate the online world. After all, knowledge is power, and we want to empower our users with information.

Further to this point, we also see a big shift happening online, whereby people are starting to recognize “Identity” as being separate by connected to “Privacy”: You can have a robust online identity and yet still remain private in many ways. This shift happening across the web is one of the reasons our CEO Michael Hussey and our GM of Product Josh Mackey recently attended the PII 2011 Conference (privacy identity innovation) in San Francisco, CA last week.

Stay tuned for more posts in the PeekYou Education Series that will be going on throughout the summer. Feel free to engage with us through Twitter and our Facebook page, as well as our blog.

PeekYou’s CEO Featured in eCommerce Times Regarding Google Docs & Collaboration

Today, PeekYou’s CEO Michael Hussey was featured in the eCommerce Times regarding Google’s newer and more social upgrade to the Google Docs suite of products. Michael pointed out that it was a wise move for Google, especially given Microsoft’s dominance in the Office Productivity Suite of software (MS Office), stating, “Anything that Google can do to make Docs more collaborative it has to do to stay competitive with Microsoft.” He also adds, “This is a natural evolution for collaboration because of the number of people who work online, who work in remote locations, and who work in larger and larger groups.” Google’s move to go more social is not surprising of course, seeing as how that’s what everyone is doing these days.

New PeekYou.com Footer Design

You will notice today that we have implemented changes to our footer’s design and layout at www.peekyou.com. The new footer has some new sections, such as “Top Search by Profession”, “Popular Searches,” “About PeekYou,” and “Peek by Country.” Each of these sections serves a specific function to our users. Our main goal was to simply clean up the look and feel of the footer, thereby making it easy for our users to navigate through page content that we have and also discover more information that we have on our site.

Let us know what you think. Do you like the new footer?
