Just a thought on this, in the peer-to-peer space, there are many car sharing companies or room/apartment rental companies. How come there isn't a big name when it comes to borrowing/lending? Something that would work the same way as Airbnb where people could list items they own (such as books, tools, games, sporting equipment, bikes, etc). People would rent these items and pay the lender a...
- More visualizations is coming as well.
- You are right, right now, this probably isn't any different from other polls sites you may have encountered. But the bigger picture, hopefully, is to create something that combines data collection and data visualization together. With Reddit, for example, you could collect data easily (because of its traffic), but you won't be able to see detailed visualizations (unless if you create your own), and with visualization tools/websites, one often struggles to find good datasets. This is, at least ideally, the longer term plan.
- Comments - understand. We have few comments atm. Do you think this is because of the nature of the site, or because there is no traffic, and hence nobody commenting?
- Question ranking - good point, will consider.
- Stats - there are plans for additional visualization (like a heatmap), and that will come in a few days. Yes, you are right, stats are only meaningful when you have a lot of answers, and when you have a lot of answers, you can certainly do lots of creative things (like compare by gender, by interest, etc), but it will take time to get there.
- Embeddable - yes this is important (but will take time). Shareable - can you be a bit more specific about this one? Right now, you can share on twitter, facebook and reddit easily, what else should we be adding?
- About browsing random questions. If things were organized (e.g. tags, sub-categories, etc) where questions of similar topics were grouped together, would that be something that makes you want to browse more?

What makes us unique is that we focus on multiple choices questions and we aggregate data from users all around the globe and display data visualizations in a personalized...
Let me start by briefly introducing our app. Arima is a Q&A site for Mass Opinion. Unlike traditional Q&A sites like Quora or Yahoo Answers, which focus on expert advice, we focus on mass opinion and try to help users to aggregate data and visualize data submitted by others all around the global. In a simple sentence, think of us as Quora for Numbers. Please have look at...
