There are some resources that I see on the net which I simply don't get, and Facto.me is one of them. You're probably familiar with Formspring.me which allows you to create an account and lets people ask you questions. I tried it for a while but found I was doing most of the asking and not much of the answering, so I gave up on it. Facto is designed so that you can write facts about yourself that other people wouldn't know. You can then let them see them. If you're desperate to see some odd facts about me you're welcome to look at my account. You can then rate the facts by ticking boxes such as 'boring', 'awesome', 'me too!' and so on.
Alternatively you can look at random facts about random people and rate those. In God's name why? Do you really care that John Doe in Oregon likes eating peas covered in horseradish? What possible difference will that make to your life? And from the other side, what difference is it going to make to the pea eating horseradish addicted Mr Doe that some random person he doesn't know and will never know thinks that's an awesome fact?
It's very popular at the moment however - since having an account for less than 12 hours I've had over 20 responses to my random facts. Do I care? Not in the slightest. However, - it's there if you want it.
