it doesn't work in most cases and statpedia largely just displays word salad with broken links on almost every keyword that it manages to find

listen ian, i know you want to be the computers famous millionaire ideas guy but nobody's out there just wishing they had more stats, the average person doesn't even understand what statistics as a thing even is. face it, there are people way smarter than you working on way more important poo poo than a facebook for stats. you are not the steve jobs of stats who is just misunderstood and will later be lauded as a genius.

i would recommend getting into the novelty sound effect iphone app field while the gettin is still good, i find the current selection of burp and fart pianos somewhat lacking

Not going to happen I already have better work lined up. Not to mention how much I think about just going to the beach, and staying there until I starve to death. At this point in life, I don't really mind dying young. If I can't have my 50 million dollar home then at least I can still die on the beach in front of it.

ok fair enough. It is only in firefox, you know that right? Thanks for the positive encouragement. I will most likely take it down before official release.

I listen. Thanks for the advice. :)

i just fell for the trap and tried to think of a genuine use case for statpedia and besides 'loving none' all i could come up with is people trying to bring up evidence for some factoid they just heard and none of the stats would have any context and it would just be a conduit for people talking out their asses about poo poo they have no idea about
here's a use case for you

imagine you're on a shooting party in the North Slob, by the River Slaney in County Wexford, Ireland and became involved in an argument over which was the fastest game bird in Europe, the koshin golden plover or the grouse. where else could you turn but statpedia?

sounds like a good plan, why dont you print it out on a piece of paper and then look at it 2 years later and see if it still seems like a great idea

ian's rear end is probably good. i'm guessing that it's not huge - just well proportioned, and possibly quite perky in the buttock area.

ian do you have a graph showing who you think is actually going to use your site?

because 0% students, 0% academics, 0% journalists, 100% people who thought your site was something else isn't exactly going to make you rich
