» 8 Facts - random facts about random people
8 Facts is another small just-for-fun personal project that builds on the techniques used in creating Bandnamr. The idea behind 8facts is simple, you submit 8 random facts about yourself, one of which should be made up. I had the idea about a year ago but never did anything with it, the a recent phase of ‘tagging’ people in blogs to publish facts about themseleves spurred me to create the site. Again, this is open to anybody, no sign up required and the submission system uses the ‘honeypot’ method to avoid spam (as mentioned in the Bandnamr summary).
This site was another experiment is a form open to the public, user experience and avoiding spam. I also wanted to try out ‘widgets’ with the facts. This means that after you make a submission, you are able to copy and paste some code into your own blog of website that will display your 8 facts. Adding to the ability to share the information. So far the submissions give a unique and very interesting insight into people’s lives, which was the ultimate intention.
