WE HAVE MORE QUIZZES THAN THE REST OF THE INTERNET COMBINED!

Wednesday, 8 September 2010
The Full Wiki has released its most interactive feature: quizzes on 44,000 topics. We use Wikipedia as our source to what we believe is the largest quiz source in human history.

How much do you know about Racism in Asia? Or take our comprehensive United States quiz. Find out how much you know about Tourism. Test your knowledge on hanging and serial killers. Or the relationship between alcohol and cancer. If this all makes you sad, try our sadness quiz. Or if this is all boring you, perhaps you should take our boredom quiz.

It's all still in beta but check out our full list of quizzes.

SEE WHAT'S HOT ON WIKIPEDIA IN OVER 13,000 CATEGORIES!

Thursday, 22 July 2010

All you stat lovers out there, check out our new site, The Full Wiki. It allows you to monitor global trends by seeing what's hot on Wikipedia. We've combined Wikipedia traffic data with their categories, to create 13,000 what's hot lists. Updated daily.


Some interesting examples from today's trending topics:

Find out what countries spike the world's interest in all kinds of areas like prostitution and racism.
Or check out other hot lists like top internet memes, top hoaxes in the US and biggest mysteries.




THE FULL WIKI MARRIES WIKIPEDIA AND GOOGLE MAPS.

Monday, 11 January 2010

Our new site, The Full Wiki has brought together Google Maps and Wikipedia. Now you can view any article on Wikipedia with all the locations mentioned on a Google Map.




You can see at a glance where most of the activity in the Renaissance happened, namely Europe and primarily in Italy. Where are the world's tornados? Or volcanos? Heat waves? Nuclear power plants?

The map and the article are linked throughout. Click on a map marker and it jumps to that part of the article. Click on an article marker and it will show you that location on the map.

See for example our tourism fact map. If we click on Bangkok (Q), for example, we can see the relevant part of the article and learn that it's the third most visited city in the world. Or zooming into Europe and clicking on Nice, Wikipedia tells us it was one of the first and best established resorts in the French Riveria.

Some more examples:

  • See what happened all around the world in 1945.
  • See where the drug trade is carried out.
  • Barack Obama has the most international background of any recent US president. See it mapped.

ANNOUNCING THEFULLWIKI

Tuesday, 14 April 2009
From the makers of NationMaster comes a new project aimed at harnessing the wealth of content of wikis.

It's called the The Full Wiki. Its goal is to become a platform for an enriched user experience for wikis using open licenses.

We have seen many fantastic projects come and go under the weight of traffic spikes, large datasets and the need to stay fresh. We want to provide serious hosting resources to make these projects feasible.

If you have a wiki oriented project you'd like us to host or provide other help, check out The Full Wiki.



FEATURE UPDATE

Tuesday, 14 April 2009
We've been working away for the past month and are pleased to announce a raft of new little features:

  • Refined moderation of user comments. Your valued contributions will appear on the site quicker.
  • Top rankings pages now show the top 5 most popular stats for each variable, rather than the top 1.
  • We've put a search box at the bottom of each page, so it's convenient to find new things out of our vast collection.
  • The encyclopedia home page has been cleaned up, showing categories and themes.
  • Best of all: you can now sort by amount and alphabetical order on graph pages with instant feedback. No need to wait for the page to reload


We hope these modifications improve your experience. Feel free to drop us a line with any thoughts of your own.
