Questions & Answers

2009 May 19

question-and-answer

Questions & Answers is my lat­est project: an exper­i­ment in new, non-linear nar­ra­tive forms, or what I’m call­ing data-as-narrative. But really it’s just a fun way to explore some of the crazy, inter­est­ing stuff peo­ple write online.

  1. I love it. Your inter­face changes the way I inter­act with the data. Because it is really easy to move from topic to topic, I can skip the bor­ing ones and quickly choose a new topic. For me it is not about the expec­ta­tion of find­ing any use­ful answers and much more about voyeurism. I enjoy see­ing peo­ple write pas­sion­ately about ran­dom top­ics like the appro­pri­ate size breed of cow to have as a pet or the pos­i­tive and neg­a­tive effects of build­ing a dam.

    Couple thoughts on the inter­face. I think you might be able to make your arrows sug­ges­tive of the arrow keys and then you could drop the intro screen with the instruc­tions and start right in the inter­face. I also think it might be nice to have the search func­tion avail­able at all times. I also noticed some of the questions/responses looked like they got clipped. Maybe add a scrolling mech­a­nism. Overall awe­some though!

  2. I would also like to be able to cut and paste the text so I can share the ridicu­lous questions/answers with friends.
