Ben and I have been exchanging late-night previews of our respective side projects for a while now.
The idea behind Ben’s project – Cumul.us asks, can we turn the weather into Wikipedia? (Wisdom of the clouds – hehe).
Will we get better weather predictions from it? Dunno. From what I’ve seen of the site, it’ll be fun trying.
Tyler Cowen gets all uncov on Ben:
“I predict this will fail — how many government agencies already work at predicting the weather?”
I’m glad we got out of the way even before launch.
