Will you build something to let me add my own quotes?

Yes, we’re building this. It’s difficult, because we want to make it as easy as possible for people not to make mistakes. Accuracy and care is important to adding a quote.

Is your data freely available?

Yes it is - developers have ready meals of juicy content on tap!

It’s easy to use all of it (with bulk files for Google Base or Mixed Schema) or easier - just use our feeds. See services

What are your future plans?

We can’t disclose them - but maybe they fall under:

• thinking about becoming a platform for emotions, or  an “emotional search engine”
• making use of voice to-text transcription.
• SMS services.
• syndicating really good reference collections.
• ways to take our quotations away, including an API.
• recommendation engines.
• publishing collections into physical form.
• books and bookshelves.
• people meeting up in real life.
• a marriage between advertising and quotations.

Some more information about our future is on this interview.

As a startup, do you have revenue models?

At the moment:

• We aim to partner with a print-on-demand provider to let users publish and take away books of quotations. Sales will go through our site.
• With our API, we hope to partner with other providers of physical goods aimed at “social networking” sites.
• We use affiliate links (such as those from Ask.com and Amazon). These generate information that is relevant.
• We’re developing a compelling pro account which is a paid subscription. It may be a while before this comes on stream.
