Statpedia

What do you like best?

1. It is simple and not overly technical.

2. Charts are interactive (highlight data points with scrolling, you can choose which data sets are displayed)

3. It's not a product you need to download. You just go to the site and make (+/- publish) your own chart, or embed or download a pre-existing chart.

4. It's potential to connect the masses to high quality information! Maybe we can replace the opinion and speculation-driven influence of blogs (ugh!) with scientific, data-driven information. (I guess it all depends on the quality of the sources people are referencing)

What do you dislike?

1. I would like to see more entries, so that I could use the site for pulling up anything I want. That way I can have a cleaner, interactive replacement for just doing an "image search" on a search engine.

2. I would love to see this evolve into a chart-driven, user-friendly version of pubmed's expanse of medical data. There's currently such a disconnect between the peer-reviewed medical journals and what the everyday person is referencing... blogs! This could really be a tool to connect the (lay) masses to high quality material. Especially with providing the links to the source articles so that people can better educate themselves.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

It's a free, simple way to make graphs and share data.
