Do you have any plans to cross compare blogs. It's interesting, some of your Data is similar to Fred Wilson's Data. And no one knows why his data is coming out the way it is. Do you?

Good point. The benefit of creating an account is you can get personalized recommendations in Hunch's thousands of topics. But we obviously need to articulate this better. Thx!

Very cool, Chris. I've been meaning to start some Hunch decision topics too

Chris, The widget is excellent. I enjoyed going through the questions and then seeing the results, nice work! One piece of feedback, when I got to the end it asked if I wanted to sign in to associate my results with my account. I will only speak for myself, I was quite hesitant to do this–not that I do not trust Hunch, however I did not see a specific benefit to be gained by providing a significant amount of demographic information (or maybe it was there and I missed it). You might want to consider making the benefit of this association more salient.

You can use the “peek” button to see what Hunch is going to predict
and verify we aren't cheating.

They (you?) predict my responses but don't do/show it until after I tell them my response. I could do that myself! If they could email it to me before I answered that would be cool. Now it looks like a parlor trick.
