Oops, too many tabs open at once!  I mean to say, "Hi deleteme" but got confused :-/  My apologies.

Hi skud,

Yeah, I am subscribed to the freebase blog and started playing with the typewriter app. It's a clever way encourage crowdsource behavior.

Personally, I can only stand to do a small handful of them before I get tired of it.

Here is a suggestion:

If Freebase is trying to get a large chunk of data (books/authors) analyzed by people using Typewriter, it would be encouraging to have a progress bar showing how close Freebase is to having the data set analyzed. It could be a big picture thing, kinda like how Wikipedia asks for donations and will show how much money they still need, or it could be smaller, instead showing how much further a person needs to go before they overtake the person in front of them.

I am in love with the concept behind Freebase and would like to submit a few use cases and some deficiencies I've experienced with the service. Who could I send this to or where would the best place be post?

Hi deleteme, you're doing good on the typewriter game - keep up the great work.

The progress bar would be simple enough, (I think - not that I'm the developer!) - I'd guess it would show the number of books still to go in typewriter, against the total count of all books.

Are you on the data-modellers or developers email lists?  Quite a lot of things get discussed there.  Also, the feedback form can be found at http://www.freebase.com/site/feedback
