When I left Google last July, it was not so much to move forward, but to go back. I wanted to continue the amazing work that had only just begun with a small group of people over two years prior. That group of people has become Small Batch Inc, and today we launched our first project, Wikirank.

From our about page:

Wikirank shows you what people are reading on Wikipedia. It’s based on the actual usage data from the Wikipedia servers, which the Wikimedia foundation makes available as a public service. We take that data, process it, and give it back to you in a format that’s easy to use and share. Wikirank reveals emerging trends, and lets you embed relevant charts in blog posts and on social media sites.

For example, something from my second life as a photographer. Medium format is superior!

Built with a foundation of Merb and Tokyo Cabinet and hosted completely on Amazon Services, it's been an challenging and extremely educational project. Here's hoping it's just the first of many interesting things to come.
