? If you need to find out, hit up BigNumbr, a Digg-like website devoted to bringing you the best of the numerical world. What does this mean, exactly? It means that you can use BigNumbr to search a growing database of user-submitted, user-approved numbers that have significance in some way. The site has everything from the current population of Albania to the number of seconds a random visitor spent on the BigNumber website. You can view entries by tag, user, or by popularity (the entries displayed on the site’s main page are the most recently submitted numbers). Lastly, you can submit your own entry by signing up for the site. BigNumbr is still operating in beta version, so it lacks some functionality, but soon plans on including a Digg-like voting and commenting system.
Bignumbr.com In Their Own Words
“We designed a place where anybody could store and show the meaningful numbers he/she/it found while surfing (or reading, or hearing… you name it, you multimedia people). This place looks very similar to those so-called “web 2.0” information ranking sites that we all enjoy reading (diggers welcome!!!) but it will focus exclusively on figures, dimensions, prices, percentages and others pieces of concentrated numeric information. Our place is designed to become an index for a lot of inofrmation sources. It is also designed to be cool and entertaining so all our readers can find a way to participate in the process”.
Why Bignumbr.com It Might Be A Killer
BigNumbr is a truly unique site in that it’s a genre-specific Digg for just numbers. It’s not limited to only mathematicians and statisticians either; for example, historians may find the numerical date entries useful, and the casual user will simply get a kick out of the occasional completely random entry.
Some Questions About Bignumbr.com
Will BigNumbr be using Digg’s API? When will it be enacted? The site isn’t as useful as it could be without the voting and commenting system. It would also benefit from some web 2.0 features so that users can store and share their favorite entries.
