Factual is a new web application that facilitates the open contributing of data on the internet. Think of it as wikipedia for databases. I’m pretty stoked. I’m not sure if this experiment will turn out to be a winner or not. But, I sure hope they make it.
The data stored in it is very much open ended. For example here is a database of one of my favorite things, beer. Go ahead, edit the data. Add whatever details you you want.
