Hunch Hub

Very impressive, what does it use to make the correlation between people and the THAY topics? I assume you're not using other people's THAY answers, are you reading the content of the tweets?

@kevinmarks thinks maybe it's a cold reading machine... Lots of the questions do seem to be about computers... :P

Congratulations with this entertaining game, 29/30, it only wrongly predicted I had never made a decision topic on Hunch. A bit hard to be confronted with the fact I'm so predictable, so thanks for ruining my weekend ;-)
PS this must be a wet dream for marketeers, they can offer people things/experiences they didn't even know they would like. And I don't mean this in a derogative way, Hunch already has enriched my life by its recommendations. Or maybe it can be used to predict to be committed crimes.
PS1 a similar game should be implemented for logged in users when answering new THAY questions.

Glad you like it ictus!

In some ways I think the simplicity of THAY is a good thing -- it gives you the percentage you fall into, which I think is intriguing, even more than what Hunch "thinks".

However we do believe that there are many ways we can give users some benefit or feedback about themselves after answering a lot of THAYs and are in the process of designing a page that tells you all about yourself.

@caterina: sound great, maybe Hunch will know me better than I know myself

This is so freaky.

This is really interesting. After 100 questions, Hunch answered 93 of them correctly. Are you sure you're not working on a way to get into my brain? ;)
