pg would probably use logic, experience and a little bit of gut feel to figure out the best way to solve an issue, not refer to a single source of someone else's writings.<p>Stop worshiping the man like he is a god. His essays are not bible scripture, and in many areas they would actually be the completely wrong course of action to take.<p>pg's thoughts are only one segment of knowledge that a person should be receiving and performing their own analysis on. If you agree with <i>everything</i> pg says, you have set him up as your personal demi-god and are dangerously ignorant. I suggest reading something other than him for a while.<p>(Note: replace pg with any particular author or method if you choose.)<p>EDIT: You can usually tell when you've hit on an uncomfortable truth when the reaction is fiercest. Irony: pump in "Trouble" to the tool under discussion.
I've just spent about 15 minutes reading an article by Paul Graham written in 1993.<p>This site is terrible for my productivity - very well done you evil person you.
Very fun little tool. It would make it exceptional if you would include a small tidbit of information beneath each listing to say why the particular essay matched the query.
So disappointed - the only question which matters - <a href="http://wwpgd.com/?q=daddy+or+chips" rel="nofollow">http://wwpgd.com/?q=daddy+or+chips</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=daddy+or+chips&oq=daddy+or+&gs_l=youtube.3.0.0l4j0i5.1510.4759.0.6529.9.8.0.1.1.0.245.1042.4j1j3.8.0...0.0...1ac.1.PqGdBoa--N4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=daddy+or+chips&#...</a>
The naming, though may sound cheesy to some, is a great marketing tactic to get noticed. You can of course think of <<fill your favorite trusted source>> person here.<p>But if you want people to notice & get some traction, knowing where and who would notice it makes a huge difference. I would say it is a nice marketing hack.<p>@aakil great job guys. :)<p>EDIT: This got covered in techcrunch!
nice litte app :) I don't why some people are bashing this, I think its actually useful. I especially like the idea of what would X do, and then having a searchable repository of links to X's writings/ideas/thoughts. Also as a side note, since your using bootstrap why not just fluid it so it looks nice on iPad and mobile, that would be the icing on this nifty little cake :)
Actually, this could be the template for something extremely popular. It could be called WW_S, the _ would be anyone in the family (or anyone in the world).<p>For a family where the father has gone away on an extended business trip, WW_S would scour the Internet and local files for anything the father said. Then, when the children want to get Dad's wisdom, they can by typing in or asking a question - even if he's not physically available.<p>What about a famous author or celeb? WW_S would spider up everything he or she has said and through a prediction algorithm formulate answers to questions, much like WWPGD.<p>Heck, you could even do it with characters like Sparky the Bear or Santa Claus. Basically, white label it.<p>I'm in a rush and typing this out on my phone, but hopefully you've got the gist.
