Not sure this is different enough from Wikipedia to really catch on.

Not a bad idea, but it’d take a lot to get it going when snopes.com and wikipedia are out there. The latter being crowd-sourced, the former handling people doing real checks.

The biggest issue I’m seeing is that the crowd you’re targeting would be people trying to prove things, not just the general public looking for information. So you run the risk of attracting a higher number of conspiracy theorists than those who are actually informed.

I personally wouldn’t use subdomains for each proof as much as something like herestheproof.com/something_I_can_prove, but I’ve never really been one for using subdomains as something dynamic. I know it can be done just as easily (URL Rewrites, etc.), it’s just not my style.

Other possible domain names: proveit, proven,

How would this be different from Snopes for example?

@Clive - Thanks man! that is exactly what I was experiencing on my end. I found this article when Googling and as you noted I’m using jQuery but it was still happening to me too. Will the blue e ever be fixed?

Comment on Character Sets are Important™ by Cezar

I know in Python you can use the unicode module to have things converted to Unicode smartly. Don’t know how to do it in php, or even if php is unicode safe.

With some recent issues with unicode, I’m glad that python is purely unicode with 3.0 and that Django fully supports unicode

php unicode stuff.
