Public Beta is Live
We just decided to go for a public beta and launch the site. It has been kept back stage too long time.
www.bignumbr.com is a new web service and collaborative portal that uses “big” numbers as an intuitive way to search, index and share information.
How many teeth an elephant has during it’s life? Even such a trivial information can be found on many places of the internet… but it is usually lost in large pieces of prosaic blurb. By republishing this information on www.bignumbr.com, anyone can make it entertaining for others and much easier to find and compare. Simplified factoids are nothing new but the bignumbr service makes it even easier to use any kind of available numeric data by allowing users to link back any number to it’s original source (web address, news source, book, you name it).
This Bignumbr makes only a small portion of all the functionalities available. The main goal for the beta 1 of this new service is to record opinions and search for proofs of usefulness. We are pretty sure that a place full of carefuly evaluated data can meet a lot of attention from professional, scholastic and individual users. Please give it a try and report to us.
The product is not finished and we have a lof of axes of development in mind. Enjoy.
